Loosid Sober Tip of the Day February 28

Home is not where you live but where they understand you.

So many of us are confused or even frustrated why our friends or loved ones don’t understand why we cannot stop on our self-will alone.

Even more of us buy into what our friends or loved ones tell us about our addiction.

They may say we don’t have enough willpower. They may tell us to just say no.

They may also try to explain to us if they can moderate their drinking, we should be able to do the same. This is 100% incorrect.

Don’t be upset with them. Not even for a minute. Remember, those amongst us no explanation is necessary. Those not amongst us, no explanation is possible.

This is why it is of critical importance to surround yourself with other people who share your common bond. It matters not where we come from.

We may come from a beautiful loving home, or we way come from a place where home was absolute chaos.

Each day, remember that home is not where you live but where they understand you.

Find your home today. Connect with others who understand. Though our experiences may be different, the feelings of isolation are the same.

I cannot tell you how many times I have had the same people who complained about my drinking will also try to tell me I am not alcoholic. I know they mean well but that is not helpful. I have and will continue to correct people because I know I am.

Bitches are not necessarily dogs in heat nor whom you think you got game on but home is a fantastical phantom of actuality. You are seeking a limited construct of your childhood/youth that place doesn’t exist and if it did to you then it only did because of you and your limited understanding of the society we live in and create. Manifesting chaos justified by nonsensical nonsense. Xoxo

My mom just passed so God bless her sole. However, I am a full blown addict that has been clean for 6 months. My mom did not understand addiction.   She was one of those that could do any drug and not get addicted. However. she thinks that addiction is a choice and not a disease because she never got addicted to anything and when she was put on pain pills and taken off, she had a hard time but she laid it out so I can understand why she thought that way and I’m glad that she knew that I was clean when she passed that means more to me than anything so if you have your parents hug him and love him and let him think whatever they want and just go with the flow that’s how I feel.

Simple response. "My brain makes 7x more dopamine per drink than yours does. Do not assume for one second that you are strong enough to quit that like I have."
