Loosid Sober Tip of the Day December 14

Hitting rock bottom.

Many people talk about having to reach rock bottom before coming into a spiritual program of recovery.

But how do we know we have reached rock bottom?

The answer is simply when we decide to stop digging.

It is not necessary that we lose everything. It is not necessary to lose our job, lose our families, or lose our home.

We do not even need to decide whether or not we have a problem.

All that is needed is a desire to stop drinking (or drugging).

We often come to the realization that we have a problem once we are able to identify with others and hear their problems.

It is at this point that we look further into a spiritual journey of recovery. Though our experiences are different, the feelings of isolation and the need to get out of the now are the same.

Damm that does hit hard. I'm glad I stopped digging.

I resonate with this message. For me my rock bottom was the desire to stop. I was done, it no longer served me any purpose. Alcohol never gave me a purpose.

I was tired of being sick and tired. I’ve only been sober for a few days. I’ve had sobriety in the past a year here a few months there. But this time feels different. I know it’s my higher power telling me it’s over put the bottle down. I’m excited for my sobriety journey this time. I want to learn who I am without alcohol and I want to love me.
