Sober Tips
#1

When we look for the good in others, we discover the best in ourselves.

This quote, by Martin Walsh, is one of the most important aspects of living a life of emotional sobriety.

It is very easy to see the fault in others. Finding the good in others requires us to completely remove ourselves from the equation and look at the other person from an objective viewpoint.

When we are born, we operate with no faults, bad intentions, or hidden motivations.

There is no greed or jealousy. We have not been told how we should act nor how others should not act.

Everything we think we know has been taught to us by experience from either what we have heard or seen.

Just for today, remove yourself from the equation and look at the person or persons you currently resent.

Find the good in them. Try to understand why they may act the way they act and do what they do. So much of what we do is done from fear, insecurity and lack of self-esteem.

Remember, everyone started in the same place. Concentrate on the good in those people today.

It’s very true when I look at others positively I’m more likely to do the same with my self….

Frankly I think it's lazy and easy to find mostly faults in others - when I meet folks like this I know they're not developing well. Not that I'm a saint, but I've always done this even when not sober - find the good in others. (Some people are awful though, but they're truly an exception to the rule).

This definitely put things in perspective. After about 12 rounds of step work. Why would I want to focus on resentment , more boulders. it’ll be a lot lighter of a load to just let it go, well I still have to deal with my part ,then carry on.

When I see the positive in others it actually makes me feel happier for a time. So doing this on a regular basis I can see would have much benefit for mental and emotional wellbeing.
