Loosid Sober Tip of the Day December 20

Building your sober network.

In recovery, it is very important to surround ourselves with people who share our common bond.

It is also important that we make sure those people we choose to connect with are constantly striving to put more in their spiritual toolkits.

In the same way we get better in sports when we play with people who have more experience and skills, sobriety works the same way.

Look for people who have what you want and connect with them.

If you are brand new to recovery, make a commitment today to get a group of at least 5 people you can reach out to on a regular basis via phone.

There are over 23 million people in recovery in the United States.

There are thousands of 12-Step meetings at any given time that you can attend virtually… there is the entire Loosid community… there is no shortage of people to find.

They are all around you… if you look for them.

We only stay sober if we give away what was freely given to us. Because of this, you will find how responsive others will be when you reach out to build your sober network.

You will be helping them… and they will be helping you.

That is what recovery is all about.

How did this tip resonate with you? Do you have a sober network? How have they helped you?

If you have been sober for a while and you look to help others, how has helping others helped strengthen your sobriety?

Let us know your thoughts below. There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

True..

We’re all gifted in one way or another. I know for me once I get sober and clean I feel overwhelmed by the need to help others. And fix people,but at the same time I can’t overcome my own fears like public speaking or even in a small group. I’ve trusted so many ppl and literally it’s been broken by em all. So for me trust is hard thing and I’m hoping god will help me to open up and begin to trust at least someone! Lol even if it’s one person✊

Recovery is varied and vague, i thought... these words like network can be very useful in a tool to make sure I'm actually doing the right thing because one of my biggest problems is my picker I don't know how to choose the right people to hang out with and I like weirdos so I have less weirdos in my life right now I still gravitate to them which is fun but I just don't try to hang out with them anymore so that's my piece Network for me it means less people less ideas stay sober today see what happens next

I have been sober now for 17 months, I have used most of my life and as a result of using I have made a disaster out of my life, robbing myself of things of the uttermost important in life such as life skills in general, things I should have learned that I'm now trying to learn. I'm taking it one day at a time sharing what I've been through and how I maintain my sobriety,and deal with things on life terms without the use of drugs. I want to be a living example that recovery is possible and AA works, it does. All thanks do to God, my higher power who saw fit for me to live, finally!
