Loosid Sober Tip of the Day December 23

When we look for the good in others, we discover the best in ourselves.

This quote, by Martin Walsh, is one of the most important aspects of living a life of emotional sobriety.

It is very easy to see the fault in others. Finding the good in others requires us to completely remove ourselves from the equation and look at the other person from an objective viewpoint.

When we are born, we operate with no faults, bad intentions, or hidden motivations.

There is no greed or jealousy. We have not been told how we should act nor how others should not act.

Everything we think we know has been taught to us by experience from either what we have heard or seen.

Just for today, remove yourself from the equation and look at the person or persons you currently resent.

Find the good in them. Try to understand why they may act the way they act and do what they do. So much of what we do is done from fear, insecurity and lack of self-esteem.

Remember, everyone started in the same place. Concentrate on the good in those people today.

I'm in the middle of going through a hard divorce. She did things to me. I never thought she would do but in the same breath I was not the best husband that I could have been to i had a lot of issues that I didn't even realize and they were due to my addiction coming off of my addiction. Cleared my mind and made me think of how I had treated her and what I did to her, which could very well help cause her reactions that were done to me that all only cause our divorce so I think of the things That had happened and wonder where I went wrong and trying to see the positive things that she did and I thank her today for everything that she did in a positive way and in a negative way because it brought me closer to a friend. That I never thought I hand I'm enjoying. The time that I get to spend with this person Though they are a 1000 miles away, it still helps to keep me from wanting to use when I talk to them and and it helps me forget about the negative problems. And issues that cause so much pain in mine and my wife's marriage. That ultimately drive me to Use and I Thank You Guys For Allowing me A Place to Talk and Share my thoughts in a safe environment with other people going through the same types of situations that have advice to be able to help me get through things.
