Loosid Sober Tip of the Day December 28

What is the quality of your sobriety?

In recovery, many people get fixated on the amount of sober time they have and compare it to others. As mentioned in a previous sober tip, the world record for sobriety is 24 hours and nobody has broken it yet!

Much like it’s never about the amount of years in one’s life, but rather the amount of life in one’s years, the same applies to sobriety.

Putting down the drink or the drug only allows us to enter a spiritual journey that we call recovery. Working a spiritual program allows us to be free from all the things that used to hold us back.

We often find people in recovery with only months of ‘sobriety time’ who are happy, joyous and free. Most often, this is because they actively work a spiritual program and, as a result, have what many people call ‘emotional sobriety’.

On the other side, there are many who have decades of ‘sober time’ who are miserable and still stuck in the bondage of self.

Freeing ourselves requires work, but the great news we all have the ability to achieve that freedom.

Find solace in the fact that you can be free any time you want. Choose freedom today. You deserve it.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

This Message is amazing because it gives me hope.

I'm confused about the world record part being 24 hours. I work my program based on 24 hours, one day at a time and by the grace of my higher power, I have 2 and a half years of sobriety. It's been quite a journey so far, but my story isn't over yet. I'm so grateful everyday I get the chance to wake up and live this life which was so freely given to me. I'm compelled to give it away so I can keep it. Thank you for letting me share
