Loosid Sober Tip of the Day July 21

Creating and maintaining an attitude of gratitude.

One of the most powerful tools we learn in a spiritual program of recovery is gratitude.

It is also something that, at first, is very hard to see, as many of us tend to gravitate to the negative and get stuck in self-pity.

Creating a context switch to think what we are grateful for takes us out of self-pity and shifts our thinking into the amazing opportunities and possibilities that lie ahead.

If you have connected with a sober network, you will often find that many of them send out gratitude lists each and every day.

It is a way of giving hope to ourselves as well as to others.

If you are not part of a gratitude group, connect with members below and write down what you are grateful for.

At Loosid, here is what we are grateful for today:

We are grateful to have a platform of likeminded others who share a common bond and help one another on a daily basis.

We are grateful that you read the daily sober tips to better yourself each and every day.

If you are new or just exploring the benefits of sobriety, we are grateful for your courage to ask questions and explore new possibilities.

If you have been sober for a while, we are grateful for setting a great power of example for people who are new and need help.

We are also grateful that you continue to practice a spiritual program every day as we cannot live today on yesterday’s sobriety.

Now, your turn…

What are you grateful for?

Share your gratitude list below.

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

As a reminder, be sure to connect with others who are posting below and in the feed to grow your sober network. You will never know when you need them, but one thing is for sure… you will need them as we cannot do this alone.

Alone we are powerless, together, there is nothing we can’t accomplish.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

I am grateful for Love. Universal Love, the love that ties us all together. The love that shows up when least expected but most needed through others. The love that extends grace and mercy. The love that I found in the solution and longed for when I lived in the darkness of addiction. In those times where I am not living in the solution, I am grateful that Love is still there with open arms, protecting me and doing for me what I cannot do for myself. I am grateful for you! Yes you, the one reading this, the one I may not know physically, but love deeply as we share energy in this space. hugs to you my friend! Oh :slight_smile: and I am grateful for hugs! Hugs and Love I am most grateful for!

I’ve been without a drink for 26 years but after awhile I got on crack cocaine.. I lost everything I had especially my self respect.. I did things that was way from my normal way of life just to get drugs.. but that’s what you do for that rock and that high.. but thank God I got off of it for 14 years I took care of my momma wit lung cancer.. she passed away 3 years ago and I relapsed but it was long enough for me to get arrested and go to prison.. took a whole year out of my life.. and there’s no way I could ever go thru that again.. and sure don’t want to.. so I have almost 3 years being clean and by the grace of God that’s the way I’ll stay.. I have no desire to use again but sometimes when I’m really stressed I do think about a drink.. it doesn’t matter who you are as long as you have faith in Jesus Christ and lean on Him to give you the strength.. you will it too..!! And that’s for the people who really want to stay sober and clean.. God will take care you..
