Loosid Sober Tip of the Day Jul 25

Hitting rock bottom.

Many people talk about having to reach rock bottom before coming into a spiritual program of recovery.

But how do we know we have reached rock bottom?

The answer is simply when we decide to stop digging.

It is not necessary that we lose everything. It is not necessary to lose our job, lose our families, or lose our home.

We do not even need to decide whether or not we have a problem.

All that is needed is a desire to stop drinking (or drugging).

We often come to the realization that we have a problem once we are able to identify with others and hear their problems.

It is at this point that we look further into a spiritual journey of recovery. Though our experiences are different, the feelings of isolation and the need to get out of the now are the same.

I know I was given X amount of life kine so I ran it out fast and far as I could! Then I also believe that my Higher power AKA God stomped on my rope causing me to stop, feel like I lost every good things I had in my moments of Soberity. He had my attention so I just listened to him.
I knew God in my youth but never truly had a spiritual relationship with God until I almost died in front of my Loving Wife & family. So rock bottom for me the third time was deep enough to make my way out & up. Thanks for the Tip.
