Loosid Sober Tip of the Day February 1

Sober Tips
#1

When we look for the good in others, we discover the best in ourselves.

This quote, by Martin Walsh, is one of the most important aspects of living a life of emotional sobriety.

It is very easy to see the fault in others. Finding the good in others requires us to completely remove ourselves from the equation and look at the other person from an objective viewpoint.

When we are born, we operate with no faults, bad intentions, or hidden motivations.

There is no greed or jealousy. We have not been told how we should act nor how others should not act.

Everything we think we know has been taught to us by experience from either what we have heard or seen.

Just for today, remove yourself from the equation and look at the person or persons you currently resent.

Find the good in them. Try to understand why they may act the way they act and do what they do. So much of what we do is done from fear, insecurity and lack of self-esteem.

Remember, everyone started in the same place. Concentrate on the good in those people today.

For me I tend to be a fault finder. I believe it is because I’m a perfectionist. Because of this I am very hard on myself therefore even harder on others at times. Today I will work on changing this trait, because it seems to leave me feeling depressed.

I try not to purposefully judge others until they repeatedly do something to cause me harm or distress, I tend to be more hard on myself because I know I can push my limits. The same energy I used on staying high all day is now the same energy I use to pursue my goals. I must be aware regardless of what others may do or say to me I must continue on my journey. I’m in control of myself.

I’m dealing with a really big resentment and I’m just trying to look at my part….. I know what his part was., trying to understand what my part was? Then I can start working on forgiveness for myself and the other person.
