Loosid Sober Tip of the Day February 10

My ego is not my amigo.

Throughout our sober journey, we come to learn the destructive nature of our ego.

In 12-Step groups we quite often hear about a program of ego deflation.

Though it can seem weird at first to hear the deflation of ego as a symbol of strength, we have found this to be one of the most important things we learn in our sober journey.

The less ego we have, the more room for humility, and the more humility we have, the greater we aspire to listen, to learn and to grow.

Remember, itā€™s easy to operate from ego. Humility takes daily practiceā€¦ but itā€™s worth it!!!

Thanks for this and TGIFšŸ’ƒ

Love this. Thank you.

There is healthy and unhealthy ego :raised_hands::heart:

Not always my experience

My ego also begged me to get help

It is not a blank statement... pretty general here although i appreciate the effort. My ego says to yell you thank you I think it's a great conversation starter and it's not necessarily an arguable point I do get it

I could not agree more. When I take my ā€œego,ā€ out of the equation, remove selfish motives and misplaced pride, I receive more peace and serenity in my life. Thank you for the reminderā€¦:wink:
