Loosid Sober Tip of the Day December 30

Sober Tips
#1

Alcoholism and addiction are diseases of isolation.

Yesterday we discussed the importance of building a sober network of 5 people you can connect with each day to provide you with the support you need throughout your recovery journey.

Getting help from others who are working a spiritual program of recovery and building this support system around you is a non-negotiable.

Sadly, far too many of us never ask for help and for that reason, never build a sober network.

We expect to GET but do not dare ASK… and if we don’t ask, we will never receive.

This is because of EGO… a three-letter word that kills alcoholics and addicts by the million.

We have discussed the horrors of the EGO before, but most of us have a built-in forgetter.

Just for today, remind yourself that EVERY person who is now (emotionally) sober had to lower their ego and ask for help.

How did this tip resonate with you? Do you need help?

If you practice a spiritual program of recovery, are you willing to give help?

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:

I really don't have a network of people that understand addiction or know what I'm going through. I need to start going to A.A. but, I don't have a vehicle at the time. I will do anything to make being sober my top priority.

I am willing to give help. I find that helping others in recovery keeps me from isolating and gets me out of my way in my recovery. I always think about doing things that I let destroy my life. They get in my head but then I see someone in need and that changes my perspective. Now I want to help them instead of focusing on me. Also, I strive to serve in recovery and I want to help out. Finally, I do possess a number of friends in recovery and we are interdependent on each other. Yes, stay busy and get out of your head where all the trouble starts.
