Loosid Sober Tip of the Day December 29

Sober Tips
#1

Compare and despair.

Yesterday, we talked about how important it is to identify with the feelings and never to compare stories.

Comparing ourselves to others is a trap that too many people in recovery find themselves.

When we compare ourselves to others, we lose sight of the entire reason why we are in recovery… to connect with likeminded others who share our common bond.

Comparison is the death of happiness. We must look toward others with hope and, for those who may be sicker than others, we must choose empathy.

When we compare, we either feel worse about ourselves or we feel better than others. Self-pity or ego. Either path is the wrong path.

Make a commitment today to not compare yourself to others. You are exactly where you need to be.

I try not to compare myself to nobody's situation when I listen to people share their story and if it's something that I can relate to I use it as a tool to learn from if I was to get in that situation I use their advice for my own to help me get through what I'm going through and I hope that when I share my story that they get something out of it to help them get through as well

I recently came across this same topic and it resonated with me. Now I live by it. Thanks for sharing, it is something we all could most likely be reminded of. :heart:

I was actually feeling this way today but through the help of my high power and reading how I can not compare myself and just being okay with where I am today helps me see a little more clearing that I am where I'm supposed to be and not look down on anymore
