Loosid Sober Tip of the Day December 26

Sober Tips

There is a stigma that when you get sober, life, as we know it, will be the end of fun.

This stigma could not be further from the truth. In fact, it is quite the opposite.

When we put down the drink or drug and decide to live life on life’s terms, the world opens up for us.

One of the first things we realize is how much of life was wasted on our time drinking or putting substances in our body. Just a few hours a day for happy hour during the week, turns into 40 extra hours a month of quality time.

That could be taking time to learn a new skill, spending more time with your family, working out, meditating, volunteering to help those in need, the list is endless.

Take a few moments to reflect on how many hours were spent each week on drinking or putting substances in your body. If you are just starting out, get excited, as you are about to enter a world of more time to build incredible experiences.

If you have been sober a while, let us know what you have done since you stopped wasting these precious hours days and years that make up this thing we have called life.

How did this tip resonate with you? Let us know your thoughts below. There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

That's something to really think about. I wish I could have all of those hours back and the money, as well. Oh well, what's done is done. One Day at a Time.

When I first started using and drinking I thought it was fun it it didn't take long before I had to drink or do drugs in order to not be sick.
That became a ritual for over 30 years every morning until bed that night. Now I wake up every day and I feel great , I don't stress,I don't lie,I don't steal,I don't look over my shoulder and most of all I feel like I belong in this world. That is 100% more fun than walking dead feeling like a ghost :ghost: :skull: :confused:. God bless everyone who is still suffering ,may you find the strength and courage to make it back to the other side. Amen

Now that I'm sober I can think of so many things I want to accomplish during the day and there's not even enough time for that. So definitely no boredom
