Loosid Sober Tip of the Day January 02

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.

It resonates with me so much there have been so many times I've tried to explain to my family doctors counselors and especially my kids and no way did they understand it was so hard and I couldn't get mad cause I knew in my heart that they didn't understand and I really didn't want them too cause if they did that would mean they would have to go through addiction as well and I would rather just have my recovery family for that and I am so thankful I have that today sober since July 26, 2024

I feel this way completely.

Yes, I think this is crucial when becoming sober. I find A.A. is a great support system for me.
