Loosid Sober Tip of the Day February 15

Expectations are future resentments in disguise.

We often spend our lives upset about people who have wronged us.

As we go through our recovery journey, you may realize that your moral compass is different than others.

Do not have expectations.

If someone does not act in a way that is in line with the principles you live your life, know that has nothing to do with you.

Pray for them as they are sick and suffering and need help.

No matter what, do not let this affect your serenity. At the end of the day, it is their garbage to pick up not yours.

Help them the best you can and if they are not willing to receive your help, move on and help someone who has the willingness to change.

I totally agree with this! I still struggle from time to time with expectations. It’s one of my character defects! :joy:
My tool to help combat this is daily reprieve. The more I write down my day the more I can see and feel the how my day went. I can begin to shift my perspective each day. Then I talk about my day with my sponsor or other people in the program.

IDK I'm really torn expect less and less but it pushes me darker. Try and make up what's not done. However I'm strong on when I hit that knot or lower that one center inside somehow fails me seldom. I mostly struggle in balance

It’s perfectly normal & wise to have expectations of yourself however. You’re allowed to set the bar as high or low as you wish, but steer clear of bars for awhile before testing these notions. For now Take it Easy!
