Loosid Sober Tip of the Day December 16

I NEED HELP.

These three simple words are the most powerful words in recovery.

Remember, there is no graduation date in recovery. Every day we have the ability to learn more and put more ammunition in our spiritual toolkit.

No matter the length of our sobriety, there will invariably be times that we need help.

Whether you are starting your journey, or are long into your recovery, always put yourself in a learning mindset.

The first thing you need to remember is, when you are struggling, say the three words that no addict wants to say. These are the same three words that save us one day at a time for the rest of our lives.

They are also the same three words that started us on our sober journey.

The courage in recovery comes from our ability to be vulnerable. It’s OK not to be OK.

Just for today, have the courage to ask for help if you are struggling. You will be surprised how many people are there to support you when you do.

If you are willing to give help, reach out to your sober network to see how you can be of service. We can’t keep it unless we give it away.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

This is so hard for me but last week I finally told some folks what’s been going on so they could be intentional with their prayers and energy. I asked for help, from a pit of dispare. I received abundant help and let’s just say I will even have presents under the tree for my two boys! Have a happy day!

I like the bit about adding to the spiritual toolkit. I try and add something to it everyday so that when I need a tool to get through the day it’s hopefully in my toolbox. It’s like creating a reserve and using it when needed or like saving money so it is there when you might need it.
