Loosid Sober Tip of the Day January 18

If you don’t go within, you go without.

Getting to know ourselves is easier said than done. For those in recovery, we often realize that before starting on our sober path, we had spent our lives seeking outside validation and tended to focus on the externals.

Whether it was the new car, the house, the fancy watch, nothing seemed to fill that empty hole that resided within us.

In fact, if we look within, we see the more we focused on the externals, the further we distanced ourselves from where we needed to go.

Recovery is an inside job. This requires courage to be open to look within and clean up what is inside that will release us from the pain and set us on a path to freedom and happiness.

Choose to start your work inside each morning. Feel the feelings and take note of the disturbances. In order to fix life’s challenges, we need to know the challenges that exist.

It is only then we can get excited to get to work to release ourselves of what’s blocking us and begin our journey to get to the other side.

Inspired to get to the inside work today! Within myself and also "getting my house in order." I know early in sobriety in learning how successful those who work a strong program are, of course the alcoholic part of my brain compared myself, and my situation. In employment, in living situation, financial, you name it. Told myself I'll never have "THAT" kind of success. Look at my history. But, after getting into the meat and potatoes of this wonderful program. After connecting with amazing fellowship, I've realized I too can have the promises. And create my own success. :pray::heartbeat::raised_hands: one day at a time!!
