Loosid Sober Tip of the Day Jul 06

Emptying our cup.

One of the most important parts of recovery is to empty our old thoughts before we start on our journey.

We cannot start clean and see a clear path if we have beliefs on what we are supposed to do, for it is what we were doing that got us into trouble in the first place.

If we want a clean and clear glass of water, we cannot come in with a dirty cup of water. If we empty most of our cup but still leave a little dirty war inside, we will still have dirty water.

Make sure you surround yourself with people who have clean cups of water.

How do you know they have clean water? Connect with people who speak with grace and dignity. Look for those who match calamity with serenity. It is never about how much sober time they have, for all of us only have 24 hours.

Connect with those who have what you want… ON THE INSIDE.

Just for today, choose to empty your cup completely to let fresh clean water to take its place.

I totally agree with this message. As we can't pour from an empty cup, we have to be able to maintain our recovery by doing our minimal things that we do on a daily basis, meetings, meditations and things of that nature, even if it means going to church or Bible study, it's just the minimal things that we have to continue. To do in order to retain what we give away.

Amen. The part about your beliefs and the way you handle things is the place where it got you. A new start is NEVER too late for anyone.
