Loosid Sober Tip of the Day December 21

Sober Tips
#1

In unity there is strength.

Whether you are entering recovery for the first time or have been in recovery for a while, it is always important to always keep in mind that, on our own, we are in big trouble.

Alcoholism and addiction are diseases of isolation and it is imperative that you connect with others who are on the same journey.

Why? Because you need to know that you are not alone. There are millions of people who share the same common bond as you.

Though all of our experiences may be different, the feelings of isolation and needing to get of the now remain the same.

Take the time today to connect with others who are on this journey with you. Once you do, you will never be alone again.

In unity there is strength. Alone we are nothing. Together, there is nothing we cannot achieve.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

I am a person who has always valued my time alone but there's a difference between being lonely and at peace alone. Today I reach out
I value others company
Their experience and their hope
Thank you community for being there for all of us.

Totally agree though I struggle with being social and getting bro meetings. Grateful that I found Celebrate Recovery. I go every Tuesday and it helps me get through the week

Thank you for the reminder - I keep putting going to AA/NA to the back burner.

I have been blessed since I started this journey, I have a wife who understands and supports me and everything I've been going through. Lately though it hasn't been easy. Because of situations out of our control I haven't seen my wife in 10 months, and have no clue when we are going to be together again. With the holidays it has been especially hard. The recovery community where I am is great, but I have no close friends yet. (I've only been here 10 months) I wouldn't say I have a burning desire, but those rouge thoughts enter my mind more than they used to. Just need prayers. Thanks

I can't!? We can!!

Get a sponsor :hugs: work the steps!! It really does work!! Sometimes it hard ... Sometimes it's simple ... But you only get out of it what you put it!! So give it all you got .. take suggestions... And connect with as many people as possible at whatever meetings you like to attend :heart::christmas_tree: Merry Christmas! Stay after and stay sober!! God bless!

Alone I am out of sync with my recovery. With my recovery friends, I find the strength to work the 12 steps.
