Loosid Sober Tip of the Day August 17

Sober Tips
#1

Resentment is the #1 offender. It kills more alcoholics and addicts than anything.

We talk about resentment frequently in the daily tips for this very reason. Why? Because repetition is the mother of skill.

In the same way we need to remind ourselves what works, it is equally as powerful to remind ourselves what does not work.

Most of use reading this have a resentment or two in our back pockets. Even if we have done the work to free ourselves of resentments, so many of us hold onto a few as we feel we are not ready to let them go.

Just for today, make a decision to let them go. You are drinking the poison waiting for the other person to suffer. Choose not to suffer today.

How did this tip resonate with you? Let us know your thoughts below. There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

Resentment is what sent my drinking into overdrive. I’ve been trying to destroy myself to get back at him.

Yes, the most hardest resentment to let go of. I think.. I’m still trying to figure out how to. Good luck and happy recovering:)

In the process of hiring someone at my company and realizing that they- and many of those around me- are making as much as or more than I am despite me having a far larger area of responsibility. I suspected this a long time but preferred to remain ignorant so as to not further fuel my selfish resentment for not getting what I “deserve”. Seeing it clearly today my initial reaction was pure resentment but I realize that while it may not be “fair” the fact is I am who I am and if I’m not happy then it’s up to me to try and make the change- either within or without the company. Can’t let resentment fester, though, as it bleeds into other areas inappropriately and will bring me down.
