Loosid Sober Tip of the Day Jul 18

Sober Tips
#1

Resentment is the #1 offender. It kills more alcoholics and addicts than anything.

We talk about resentment frequently in the daily tips for this very reason. Why? Because repetition is the mother of skill.

In the same way we need to remind ourselves what works, it is equally as powerful to remind ourselves what does not work.

Most of use reading this have a resentment or two in our back pockets. Even if we have done the work to free ourselves of resentments, so many of us hold onto a few as we feel we are not ready to let them go.

Just for today, make a decision to let them go. You are drinking the poison waiting for the other person to suffer. Choose not to suffer today.

How did this tip resonate with you? Let us know your thoughts below. There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

The best thing that Recovery has to offer is working on resentment. I had so many resentments when I first came in that I didn’t even know I had. Today, I choose to deal with resentment as letting go and letting God who I choose to call my higher power. It takes practice for me. It took years, but letting go of that anger and hatred for a person is hard but practice makes perfect today. It is so easy to just forgive that person in that instant and move on. It’s also a very freeing feeling you don’t even wanna look back. You just wanna keep going forward. I believe there’s a spirituality about letting go resentment because for me I feel so much better and happy that I no longer have to care about that person or even think about that person but one thing I do do is pray for resentment that person.
