Loosid Sober Tip of the Day December 28

Sober Tips
#1

Yesterday we discussed how it feels to be sober. Today we look at what it takes to get sober.

Moving from being sober to getting sober requires us to start working a spiritual program.

We have removed the ‘spirits’ and need to replace it with spirituality.

In 12 step Groups, this consists of Unity (meetings and fellowship), Service (to others), and working the 12 steps.

Whatever the spiritual program, you need to enter it swiftly. If we sit in the seat of sobriety and not embark on a spiritual program, we will stay in pain.

There are people who stay ‘being sober’ without a spiritual program for decades and, while they are officially sober, they have not worked a spiritual program and because of this, have not had the opportunity to remove the blockages required to set them free. We often refer to these people as dry.

If you have questions on what to do, ask in the comment section below. The Loosid community is here to help you.

If you have been sober for a while and are working a spiritual program, help the newcomers by sharing your experience below.

There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

I have been sober for 17 months now and I make meetings and try my best to engage in my sobriety by going to IOP, sharing my experience, strength,and hope to all who will listen, newcomers and people that's been sober for a while alike. My spiritual program is keeping in conscious contact with God, praying for His will and doing the next right thing, going against the grain which is myself not doing those things continuously which I know intuitively that are wrong. I'm blessed to be living intentionally a life without the use of drugs!

The reality is there for you if you truly seek it! I had to find out for myself that I am truly an addict/alcoholic. I am NOT ashamed because I am not alone...just TRY being honest with yourself it's the first principle of the first step...see for yourself who YOU really are.

We have a question in AA...
What do you get when you get a horse thief sober?
A sober horse thief.

Drinking was but a symptom of our problem. We have to get down to causes and conditions.
