Loosid Sober Tip of the Day Aug 08

Identify, don’t compare.

When we come into a spiritual program of recovery, many of us will find that we compare our stories with others.

We may feel we have not reached the desperate levels others have or, alternatively, we may look at our stories and think that we have had a much rougher time.

It is not our job to take the inventory of others.

It is very important never to compare stories, but rather identify with the feelings.
Look for the similarities, not the differences.

When we focus on similarities, we will invariably find them.

I heard people sharing about the kinds of 'internal feelings' that I'd thought I was alone in, despair & angst. They were 25 yrs older or more, but on the inside we were very much all the same. That gave me Hope that I could recover like they were. It's an inside job but not alone 🫂

Yes, it allows me to understand how judgmental I was. I think it’s part of things in my life that allows me to see things in a clearer way, I thank God, and look forward to learn how to live with another viewpoint.
