Loosid Sober Tip of the Day January 07

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:

Ok so I'm 10 months into this. How i do it is like this.

  1. Keep my Spiritual Connetion strong.
    It's like your cell phone bars.. bad reception impedes you ability to communicate clearly. That means a prayer life. I don't allow distractions.
    Set time alone....
    Morning noon and night.
  2. I meditate NOT EMPTYING my mind but the opposite i fill my thoughts on scripture and listening to what God may say.
  3. I am quick to volunteer. Service even the little things.
  4. I check in daily with a brotha that is actually a drug counselor.
  5. I avoid people places and things that are bad for my recovery.
  6. I'm in a step study working the steps and have a sponsor.

Awsome, 5 months clean and sober ,I know there's no difference, it all inclusive ,well anyway, congrats and thank you for the tips

My life is so absolutely amazingly good today! I'm just so happy and fully joy every day. And I have so many friends through AA, CR, my church, and I do outreach program s through CR and I'm always trying to help others all the time. Giving rides, sending out devotionals, and doing those outreach programs
