Loosid Sober Tip of the Day August 29

Expectations are future resentments in disguise.

We often spend our lives upset about people who have wronged us.

As we go through our recovery journey, you may realize that your moral compass is different than others.

Do not have expectations.

If someone does not act in a way that is in line with the principles you live your life, know that has nothing to do with you.

Pray for them as they are sick and suffering and need help.

No matter what, do not let this affect your serenity. At the end of the day, it is their garbage to pick up not yours.

Help them the best you can and if they are not willing to receive your help, move on and help someone who has the willingness to change.

This is the hardest part. When people are clearly in need of help and they won’t receive it. Walking away and helping someone else that wants it is hard when you want to share what you’ve got. I struggle with this a lot. It gets frustrating and I try not to lose hope. I don’t get mad anymore, just sad.

Can you not have a resentment towards someone but not want to establish a relationship?

How well do I know that people are not going to change t on your expectations.. you have to except the things you cannot change and change the things you can.. and know the difference..

I’ve always said that expectations lead to disappointment….
