Loosid Sober Tip of the Day February 1

Sober Tips

We often think we are only responsible for our actions.

Remember, at any time, we are responsible for three things: Our actions, our reactions and our inactions.

Ironically, inaction is often the most powerful.

This may mean restraint of pen and tongue by not sending that nasty text, email or phone response to someone who hurt you.

It may also mean sitting quietly with yourself and observing your thoughts and settling your mind.

Actions and reactions are very powerful as well.

Write down your actions, reactions and inactions from the last day. Then take an inventory to see what inactions were not useful and should have been acted upon.

Do the same for actions and reactions. You will get better each day. It just takes a bit of practice.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

Day 2 it feels good just trying not to live with regret remorse and repeat the horrors that have gotten me here. God help me.

Great job Diane! I’m on day 8 and am thankful! I pray for strength each day and thank God each night for another day without my thoughts and actions revolving around when/where I can drink. A book that helped me was Alcohol Lied toMe by Craig Beck. You’ve got this! This community and resources help as well. I read the daily tip and have listened to a few podcasts.

I will look for Craig Beck’s book. I listened to a great podcast this morning from alcohol coach Sue Bee. This is my year! God Bless us all!

Basically we are doing a daily reprieve. Our new sober life has to revolve around us looking at our lives as a whole each day. I know that I let my days run together, a blur, because I don’t sit down each day and put some thought into how I behaved that day.
Our tongue is the most dangerous part of our body. When we speak out , harm. When we hold it in, resentments.
When we train our tongue to be kind and loving and speak with compassion and not with motives we will be more helpful to those around us. To others we don’t even know.
