Loosid Sober Tip of the Day August 02

Sober Tips
#1

Moving from being sober to getting sober requires us to start working a spiritual program.

We have removed the ‘spirits’ and need to replace it with spirituality.

In 12-Step Groups, this consists of Unity (meetings and fellowship), Service (to others), and the 12 steps.

Whatever the spiritual program, you need to enter it quickly. If we sit in the seat of sobriety and not embark on a spiritual program, we will stay in pain.

If you have questions on what to do, ask in the comment section below. The Loosid community is here to help you.

If you have been sober for a while and are working a spiritual program, help the newcomers by sharing your experience below.

There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

Had first therapy appointment yesterday and am 1 day sober! Have to admit, I am proud of myself but feeling very anxious, physically and mentally uncomfortable and irritable but am determined to continue on. Need to find a meeting but am nervous about that as well. I have never been good putting myself out there. Big anxiety issues. Suggestions?

All normal feelings at first. Try online meetings first - you can certainly just listen to meetings as a start anywhere in the world. I found it easier than going to a local one to start

Thank you for your advice. I was thinking online might be the best start for me as well. I’ll try that today.

Started online therapy with Talk Space. It is awesome, and takes insurance too. And it's reasonable for those without insurance. Haven't done meetings yet because I'm scared. And a health care professional but I shouldn't let that stop me. This week I'm going to try to go to a meeting!

I’m entertaining actually going to one today if I can muster the courage. I am a healthcare professional as well. I’m scared. There’s one at noon. I was hoping for a women’s meeting and this one isn’t. Thanks for your advice
