Loosid Sober Tip of the Day July 20

Sober Tips

Expectations are future resentments in disguise.

We often spend our lives upset about people who have wronged us.

As we go through our recovery journey, you may realize that your moral compass is different than others.

Do not have expectations.

If someone does not act in a way that is in line with the principles you live your life, know that has nothing to do with you.

Pray for them as they are sick and suffering and need help.

No matter what, do not let this affect your serenity. At the end of the day, it is their garbage to pick up not yours.

Help them the best you can and if they are not willing to receive your help, move on and help someone who has the willingness to change.

This is so true. When I was drinking and something didn’t go the way I wanted to. Oh my gosh it was the end of the world. Now I can handle these kind of things without drama.

I still get stuck on this and need to call my sponsor about it frequently.
I grew up being self centered and selfish to protect myself in trauma…
I frequently need to remind myself to come back to the present and see this as a different situation.
This is not people trying to hurt me intentionally, it never was, this is people doing what they need to do or know how to do, like me, trying their best to also live more intentionally.
But if it develops into a pattern that feels bad, I remember to stick with the winners who exhibit behavior I want to learn.
