Loosid Sober Tip of the Day July 17

Sober Tips

There is a saying, “For those amongst us no explanation is necessary. For those not amongst us no explanation is possible.”

We often get frustrated when friends or family members don’t understand why we do what we do.

The truth is, if they are not one of us, they cannot and will not be able to identify with what we are feeling.

This is the beauty of connecting with people who share your common bond.

Surround yourself who can identify with what you are going through. Though our experiences are different, the feelings of loneliness, isolation, and the need to get out of the now remain the same.

Give your program an opportunity to work and you’ll find more clarity about topics like this.
You don’t have to be just like those around you to identify with some of the same feelings and emotions they are going through and you can and will learn from those that are polar opposites of you as well.
Keep it simple, find a sponsor, find some program buddies and keep coming back!

Yes, I believe that’s true. I need to go to A.A.. I just started job but, I still feel isolated and lonely. It probably would help meeting people that have the same addiction problem.
