Loosid Sober Tip of the Day July 04

Alcoholism and addiction are diseases of isolation.

Yesterday we discussed the importance of building a sober network of 5 people you can connect with each day to provide you with the support you need throughout your recovery journey.

Getting help from others who are working a spiritual program of recovery and building this support system around you is a non-negotiable.

Sadly, far too many of us never ask for help and for that reason, never build a sober network.

We expect to GET but do not dare ASK… and if we don’t ask, we will never receive.

This is because of EGO… a three-letter word that kills alcoholics and addicts by the million.

We have discussed the horrors of the EGO before, but most of us have a built-in forgetter.

Just for today, remind yourself that EVERY person who is now (emotionally) sober had to lower their ego and ask for help.

How did this tip resonate with you? Do you need help?

If you practice a spiritual program of recovery, are you willing to give help?

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:

My EGO was one of my biggest problems, so thankful for NA and AA as well, bc AA is where I started.

I don’t have no friends. Right now, I’m homeless. I don’t have a network of people to turn to.

I had a sponsor that had me call a different two people from recovery every day. I thought it would kill me but now I'm grateful for the experience.

Rita Britton.. can I be your friend or me and a few other people on this site be your network?
