Loosid Sober Tip of the Day January 20

Yesterday we discussed how it feels to be sober. Today we look at what it takes to get sober.

Moving from being sober to getting sober requires us to start working a spiritual program.

We have removed the ‘spirits’ and need to replace it with spirituality.

In 12 step Groups, this consists of Unity (meetings and fellowship), Service (to others), and working the 12 steps.

Whatever the spiritual program, you need to enter it swiftly. If we sit in the seat of sobriety and not embark on a spiritual program, we will stay in pain.

There are people who stay ‘being sober’ without a spiritual program for decades and, while they are officially sober, they have not worked a spiritual program and because of this, have not had the opportunity to remove the blockages required to set them free. We often refer to these people as dry.

If you have questions on what to do, ask in the comment section below. The Loosid community is here to help you.

If you have been sober for a while and are working a spiritual program, help the newcomers by sharing your experience below.

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

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

I have been in and out of the rooms a few times. I never took it very seriously other than being around other sober people, which does help for a time, but isn’t a long term solution. This time, I came in fully willing. I got a sponsor within two weeks, started working my program and was led back to my Higher Power. I’ve seen prayers answered and many notice the changes in me. I strive for change now, not just a place to go surrounded by sober people. I’m just as comfortable praying and meditating as I am in the halls of AA. In fact, I crave my spiritual time now. It works if you WORK it :heart: don’t forget that you are WORTH it!
