Loosid Sober Tip of the Day July 12

The last two days we have looked at being sober and getting sober. Today, we look at what it takes to stay sober.

One big part of staying sober is to continue to be of service to others on a daily basis, both inside and outside of recovery. There is a saying that the only way to keep our sobriety is to give it away.

This has proved to be incredibly important if not mandatory. Working with others the spiritual program that has freed us reminds us exactly what we need to do so by helping others we help ourselves.

We also need to continue to work the spiritual program that freed us in the first place. In 12-Step groups this consists of working the last 3 steps every day (10,11 & 12).

The final thing is we need to keep connected to our sober network. This could be meetings, support groups, or people who hold you accountable on a daily basis.

Gift yourself today with these 3 important steps of sobriety. You will be surprised the amazing life you have in front of you.

How did these 3 days work for you? If you are newly sober, did they help give you more clarity and more importantly, the impetus to start your journey?

If you have been sober a while, did it help remind you of the journey that you have been through and the importance of taking these 3 steps?

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

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

Needed this

I can say that yes since I've been in recovery my life has been amazing and I value each day as it comes. I stay close to my support network and I look forward to helping the new comer. Life on life's terms comes and today I am better able to re-act in a responsible way. Hope you all have a great day...

I have been sober for 24 days. Though I been isolated due to having no car, no place of my own. I know it extremely helps when you go to A.A. meetings cause this isn’t the first time of trying to get sober. I know I have to do everything thing I can to seek A.A. again.

It helped me cause right now I’m doing this by myself. It’s hard when you don’t know anyone that is struggling day by day to stay sober.

I was really close to and spent a lot of time with my most recent sponsor for years. About a year ago she moved away. I still talk to her but limit talking about my problems because she's too far away to help me and I'd rather not worry her. I never replaced her and have become complacent and go to way less meetings. I feel like I have no one to talk to about recovery and how I am doing. This inspired me to put together a new support network.
