Loosid Sober Tip of the Day February 25

Sober Tips
#1

Alcoholism and addiction are diseases of isolation.

Yesterday we discussed the importance of building a sober network of 5 people you can connect with each day to provide you with the support you need throughout your recovery journey.

Getting help from others who are working a spiritual program of recovery and building this support system around you is a non-negotiable.

Sadly, far too many of us never ask for help and for that reason, never build a sober network.

We expect to GET but do not dare ASK… and if we don’t ask, we will never receive.

This is because of EGO… a three-letter word that kills alcoholics and addicts by the million.

We have discussed the horrors of the EGO before, but most of us have a built-in forgetter.

Just for today, remind yourself that EVERY person who is now (emotionally) sober had to lower their ego and ask for help.

How did this tip resonate with you? Do you need help?

If you practice a spiritual program of recovery, are you willing to give help?

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:

Totally agree, I have been back in AA for 1 month in that time I have reconnected with my recovery community. Got a sponsor, have 4 accountability friends working a spiritual program

Have gone back to church, and have worked all the steps in that time. Do the work especially the work I don’t want to do and God will do for me what I couldn’t do for myself

‘Built in forgetter’
True dat. I still have no memories of anything. Now that I’m sober I still have a way of forgetting even good memories. I used to write a lot and that helped. I think I’ll try doing this again. I want to remember. Be present. I don’t want to have my automatic defense be to forget. It’s a hard habit to break because it’s ingrained in me from my past trauma,etc. without connection we are at risk for relapse because I forget how bad it was. Conveniently inconvenient…!!
