Loosid Sober Tip of the Day February 20

Sober Tips
#1

Finding the good in YOU.

Yesterday, we looked at finding the good in others. Hopefully, that has given you some very strong relief and freed up quite a bit of wasted energy on anger and resentment.

As we have heard countless times, resentment is the #1 offender.

Quite often, the person we most resent most in life is ourselves.

Just for today, focus on the good in you.

Most of us have harmed many people in our active addiction and have a hard time forgiving ourselves for what we have done.

Just for today, focus on the actions you have taken now that you have entered a new journey.

What have you done to be of service to others? What have you done that started you on this spiritual path?

If you are still new or are in active addiction, just by reading this daily tip shows great willingness to change. That is GOOD. Very GOOD.

If nothing comes to mind, think of what good you can do today to help others. Think of what good you can do to learn more about the path to recovery.

If you are confused or don’t know where to start, post below any questions you may have.

If you have been around a bit, please share with the community the GOOD about you and what you have been able to do since entering recovery.

There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

After 6 years of trying to get clean and sober, and only getting about a year in a half. I have 4 days clean and sober today, and I’m just so grateful that I’m still alive and that I have a 2nd chance at life for the millionth time lol. So today I’m proud of my resilience and perseverance to continue getting back up again and again after all my falls. But for me success comes from learning from all of my failures

Well first thing that comes to mind when I read this is my mother who I think when I wrote my fourth step for many reasons I never felt loved or that I even mattered to her as a child I was lost and felt invincible! All she cared about was drinking and bringing drunk men home after leaving me and my brothers w whoever I’m the projects would mind us I was violated many times only spoke up once and she didn’t believe me I craved her attention but hated her fast forward 100 years (not really) but she had stroke now has dementia and I am the only person that will visit her ect….. Only by the Grace of my higher power and 3 1/2 years sober I CAN be there for her as hard as is sometimes I’m there I could go on about this but I had to keep the forgiveness I gave her in doing steps … I know if I can let go of these deep resentments I can let go of any cause I know I would of definitely drank by know or got high!!!!!!

Congrats... sometimes you have to take it second by second, min by min, hour by hour, day by day but I promise it gets easier

Heck yeah that counts. Service to others isn’t just within a recovery fellowship, but to the community in general. Good job.

Good morning Loosid!
The good in me? Well a few things is my willingness to make a change. Willingness to help others.
I’m a sponsor to others who are willing to do the work. Even if I’m not sponsoring you I’m here to help. What have I done to start my spiritual journey, I have given in to my powerlessness of my addiction. I’m an alcoholic. Today I practice the 12 steps of AA. I go to church and read the Bible, I eat healthy, I exercise, and I journal. Doing my daily reprieve has been very helpful in giving the tools to spot check my behavior throughout the day. Meditation and prayer have and still do play a huge role in my sobriety. Asking for help when I need it has been a blessing. This community has changed my life as well. Today I’m grateful for my higher power, my son, my sobriety, my health, my wealth, my family and friends. I’m grateful for the clothes I get to wear, the shoes on my feet, the roof over my head, the food I get to eat and most of all my ability to see my faults and utilize them to live a joyous life.
Have a blessed day my friends!

I try to do something good when it presents itself to me rarely is it something I plan although I guess I have volunteered a few times in my life and stuff like this but on a daily I go to a meeting and try to always share even something as small as sharing at a meeting is giving back things we do not realize can often quite possibly affect someone else majorly in a positive direction. And just being open to helping if you stay around the rooms and or if you're anything like me and have been through treatments stay in touch with those people without getting pulled down into potential rabbit holes with them LOL but there's often places to help out if you live your life around recovery as I do

Have been struggling so hard with sobriety and not losing faith and finding the good in everything going on. I'm sober today but don't know where to find the strength to keep going anymore.
