Loosid Sober Tip of the Day December 29

Building your sober network.

In recovery, it is very important to surround ourselves with people who share our common bond.

It is also important that we make sure those people we choose to connect with are constantly striving to put more in their spiritual toolkits.

In the same way we get better in sports when we play with people who have more experience and skills, sobriety works the same way.

Look for people who have what you want and connect with them.

If you are brand new to recovery, make a commitment today to get a group of at least 5 people you can reach out to on a regular basis via phone.

There are over 23 million people in recovery in the United States.

There are thousands of 12-Step meetings at any given time that you can attend virtually… there is the entire Loosid community… there is no shortage of people to find.

They are all around you… if you look for them.

We only stay sober if we give away what was freely given to us. Because of this, you will find how responsive others will be when you reach out to build your sober network.

You will be helping them… and they will be helping you.

That is what recovery is all about.

How did this tip resonate with you? Do you have a sober network? How have they helped you?

If you have been sober for a while and you look to help others, how has helping others helped strengthen your sobriety?

Let us know your thoughts below. There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

Experience strength and hope are all parts of what helps each other grow stronger and wiser. A support group is what made me the man I am today with over 7 years clean. Still, every day is a threat but avoiding old people places and things, and keeping recovery fresh will be the best medicine.

Thanks for sharing. I need people. I have none..it's been a tough road...almost 2 yrs sober though.

Another great source is the subreddit r/StopDrinking. There are thousands of members from around the world all looking to stay sober.

I'll have (God willing) 3 years January 13th and I've had social shifts in my group. Most are still there, others no longer have anything I want aside from being sober. As you grow spiritually you'll find what no longer works for you - a direct result of growth. I can learn from everyone, but I can also choose what I keep.

I hope this helps someone out there. With NYE approaching, these close ppl are super important to keep closer.

I'm 3 1/2 into my recovery, I love going to meetings. I had a stroke 8 months ago, my speech was affected but getting better but I'm still have no confidence when I speak. I want to participate but I'm just really uncomfortable.
