Loosid Sober Tip of the Day February 7

The last two days we have looked at being sober and getting sober. Today, we look at what it takes to stay sober.

One big part of staying sober is to continue to be of service to others on a daily basis, both inside and outside of recovery. There is a saying that the only way to keep our sobriety is to give it away.

This has proved to be incredibly important if not mandatory. Working with others the spiritual program that has freed us reminds us exactly what we need to do so by helping others we help ourselves.

We also need to continue to work the spiritual program that freed us in the first place. In 12-Step groups this consists of working the last 3 steps every day (10,11 & 12).

The final thing is we need to keep connected to our sober network. This could be meetings, support groups, or people who hold you accountable on a daily basis.

Gift yourself today with these 3 important steps of sobriety. You will be surprised the amazing life you have in front of you.

How did these 3 days work for you? If you are newly sober, did they help give you more clarity and more importantly, the impetus to start your journey?

If you have been sober a while, did it help remind you of the journey that you have been through and the importance of taking these 3 steps?

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

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

Works for many, but not for all. Again, I’m taking issue with the claim that all this is mandatory, and any deviation from that path will end in failure. That said, for people that are lost it’s probably a solid approach with a good track record.

“…what it takes to stay sober.” For me, it is a daily surrender that I am powerless over my addiction. That, coupled with gratitude, has helped me to lose the desire to use.

I believe you HAVE TO KEEP IT GREEN..always remember that desperation thought brought me/us to our knees!! Where we said ENOUGH...and gratitude always for HIM helping me/us minute by minute...it continues to get better day by day..real talk...it really does

All true. All good.

My Believe Timmy is the first three steps 123 and 1011 and 12 are the key factors of staying sober and having fun and a joyful life of not being bonded by something or someone that controls you
