Loosid Sober Tip of the Day Dec 12

Sober Tips
#1

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.

Expectation is one of many character defects of mine. Through the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous I was able to see these defects as a result from working steps 4 & 5.
Today I ask myself this question
“How can I help?”
Having this question in the forefront of my mind I’m able to minimize the defect of expectations. Also, keep this at the forefront-I’m I being kind and loving?
No matter what the other person is doing. We can continue to use these two simple tools and live a joyous life in peace and harmony with God.
