Loosid Sober Tip of the Day February 23

Sober Tips
#1

Learning to love ourselves is one of the hardest challenges we face when entering a spiritual program of recovery.

So many of us look at the harm we have done and think that it is impossible we will ever get to a point to right our wrongs.

Many more amongst us think we do not deserve to get better.

Just for today, give yourself the gift of recognizing your accomplishments.

No matter who you are, you took two very big steps today.

You opened Loosid to get help… and you read a tip to get advice and guidance.

Sadly, there are millions of people on this very day who are stuck in denial and refuse to accept the possibility that they need help, and for this reason they didn’t take any steps.

Take one more step today… walk over to your mirror and look at yourself and say, “I’m proud of you.”

Why? Because you should be.

How did this tip resonate with you? Let us know your thoughts below. There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

I’ll never spend more time with anybody else but myself. I used to be my worst enemy, now I’m my own best friend. Great tip!

Welcome K! I’m glad you’re here!
I can say that I didn’t know how to love myself. I thought that if I stopped my life for you that was love. It turns out I was wrong. Today, with the help from God, Loosid, AA and all of my sober support group I can love myself. I can let go of my old ideas of I thought love was. I can make new ideas by sharing my experiences and listening to others. I love myself by eating healthy, exercising, helping others without expectations and looking inward at my character defects. Asking for help when I need it. Prayer and meditation is another great way to love yourself. Praying for others. Meditation to get to know self has help me.
Have a blessed day my friend.

Yo. I'm proud of all of you!

I had a hard time forgiving myself until is realized that that too was pride. I mean who am I to not forgive when the God of my understanding does? Am I not saying that I know better than God!?! Now I try to give all my struggles to God and just ask myself. "Is it Your will for me to feel or act the way I am?

I love all of you like my own family. Have a great day. Stay in the knowledge that, while you still have breath, you have purpose.
