Loosid Sober Tip of the Day December 17

Sober Tips

FEAR. False evidence appearing real.

Fear is something that seems to rip through many of our lives. In 12- Step literature, they call it an evil and corroding thread and should be classified in the category of stealing.

There is much truth to this, as fear only resides in the future and we do not know whether any of what we think may happen will ever materialize.

Fear very much fits in the category of stealing and it robs us of the one thing we can never get back… TIME.

Think about how much time you have been afraid of something that has never happened. How much time was spent in those fears?

Choose not to lose any more time. Make a decision to take advantage of the present. That’s all we have. All we ever will have,

Overthinking and fearing the worst has cost so much. Changing mindset to live for now and restoring peace.

Many people that have suffered through very traumatic experiences seem to have the worst issues with fear. My advise.... If you are living in fear seek a really good therapist that you click with that specializes in trauma therapy. It can work and your life will be 1,000% better and enjoyable and if you also have addictions it will dramatically help with that as well.
