Loosid Sober Tip of the Day December 15

A life run on self-will is doomed to fail.

Much of recovery has to do with taking us away from self-will and turning it over to a power greater than ourselves.

It is very important to note that it is not tied to any religion or devotion. It is 100% spiritual, and the higher power is whatever you want it to be, so long as it is not us.

To some, we turn our will over to this higher power who we may choose to call God. For others, who may be atheist or agnostic, we often turn our power over to our sober peers. In this case our God is Group-Of-Drunks.

Another thing we may want to do is add an “o” to God. When we are agitated, pause and think, what is the G-oo-d thing to do?

We can also look at it as Gift Of Dignity or Good Orderly Direction.

The most important thing to know that the answers will not come from us at it is our thinking that got us into trouble in the first place.

Just for today, choose to free yourself from the bondage of self and ask whatever or whoever your higher power is to direct your thoughts as to the next right thing to do.

This with me was my very first step turning my will and my life over to a power greater then myself as I understand him, I kept doing the same things over and over by myself and got nothing different (insanity) and then it clicked that light bulb :bulb:moment maybe I need to try something different maybe I need more help then just myself and when u realized that my life immediately began to change

Turning my will and my life over to a care of God was a easy one for me due fact that I was more than willing to be a different person of what I was of my past life of old behavior...Today my Hihher power directs my step in my life today..Amen
