Loosid Sober Tip of the Day Jul 09

Sober Tips
#1

Finding the good in YOU.

Yesterday, we looked at finding the good in others. Hopefully, that has given you some very strong relief and freed up quite a bit of wasted energy on anger and resentment.

As we have heard countless times, resentment is the #1 offender.

Quite often, the person we most resent most in life is ourselves.

Just for today, focus on the good in you.

Most of us have harmed many people in our active addiction and have a hard time forgiving ourselves for what we have done.

Just for today, focus on the actions you have taken now that you have entered a new journey.

What have you done to be of service to others? What have you done that started you on this spiritual path?

If you are still new or are in active addiction, just by reading this daily tip shows great willingness to change. That is GOOD. Very GOOD.

If nothing comes to mind, think of what good you can do today to help others. Think of what good you can do to learn more about the path to recovery.

If you are confused or don’t know where to start, post below any questions you may have.

If you have been around a bit, please share with the community the GOOD about you and what you have been able to do since entering recovery.

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

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

I don't know how others started their doc (drugofchoice) but I already didn't like myself n that's what drew me in. The drugs helped me not to feel. We all like to escape feelings but I learned if j keep numbing I wouldn't feel joy. I wanted joy back. I quite using when I promised my mom on her death bed that I would stop using and I did. Started going to church, got baptized, got into a 12 step program. It really does work if you work it!!

Since getting sober, I’ve found parts of myself I thought were lost. The good in me was always there—I just had to clear the noise to see it.
I show up for the people I love.
I own a home, and I take care of it.
I’ve been working hard in a tough industry, pushing through every challenge.
I support others in recovery, because I know how hard this path can be.
I’m rebuilding trust—with my family, my partner, and most importantly, myself.
I’m not perfect, but I’m proud of the changes I’ve made. There’s strength in choosing a new way of life—and every day I choose growth, healing, and love.

Being able to be honest with myself and the people around me has had such a profound change in my being.
It's try number 3,000, but I'm definitely feeling something different this time around . Maybe it's the raw honesty . Im very proud of that.
