Loosid Sober Tip of the Day July 13

If you don’t go within, you go without.

Getting to know ourselves is easier said than done. For those in recovery, we often realize that before starting on our sober path, we had spent our lives seeking outside validation and tended to focus on the externals.

Whether it was the new car, the house, the fancy watch, nothing seemed to fill that empty hole that resided within us.

In fact, if we look within, we see the more we focused on the externals, the further we distanced ourselves from where we needed to go.

Recovery is an inside job. This requires courage to be open to look within and clean up what is inside that will release us from the pain and set us on a path to freedom and happiness.

Choose to start your work inside each morning. Feel the feelings and take note of the disturbances. In order to fix life’s challenges, we need to know the challenges that exist.

It is only then we can get excited to get to work to release ourselves of what’s blocking us and begin our journey to get to the other side.

Exactly! After I became sober, I lost all desire to drink again. It was like my glass was full. I simply didn't need a drink anymore. And I wasn't sure what caused the thirst to go away. Weeks after being sober and deeply introspecting, I realized that my problem had always been loneliness. But then, I found God, and he filled me with his love.

So very much what I needed to hear today when at this moment I am clearer of mind and body with perhaps a more open then I sometimes have to really look inside, then admit, and be open to something different...perhaps better. The glasses aren't always rosy but they may not be as dark as sometimes
