Loosid Sober Tip of the Day December 21

Emptying our cup.

One of the most important parts of recovery is to empty our old thoughts before we start on our journey.

We cannot start clean and see a clear path if we have beliefs on what we are supposed to do, for it is what we were doing that got us into trouble in the first place.

If we want a clean and clear glass of water, we cannot come in with a dirty cup of water. If we empty most of our cup but still leave a little dirty war inside, we will still have dirty water.

Make sure you surround yourself with people who have clean cups of water.

How do you know they have clean water? Connect with people who speak with grace and dignity. Look for those who match calamity with serenity. It is never about how much sober time they have, for all of us only have 24 hours.

Connect with those who have what you want… ON THE INSIDE.

Just for today, choose to empty your cup completely to let fresh clean water to take its place.

I am becoming the person I so have dreamed about it is taking hard work and determination not going backwards after every storm connecting with others that are working towards the same goals is a great way to build strength there are some roads in recovery that must be walked alone the first step for some are learning to stop letting people treat you as your nobody and your life doesn’t matter is how you are going to start feeling like you do matter for some we have allowed every kind of abuse by people we love and we excepted it because we felt something was better than nothing that’s not the way to build like we just read finding people who appreciate you care about you want to see you shine are the people you need to surround yourself with you don’t have to be that person in the room that people whisper about and stay clean your cup and fill it with clean water :sweat_drops: then and only then will you witness that growth change is hard for so many but in most cases necessary there are days when I feel alone and falling apart THIS TOO SHALL PASS :blush: it will I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday :blush::two_hearts::pray:t3:
