Loosid Sober Tip of the Day July 23

Sober Tips

Day 1

Every year, millions of people come into recovery on Day 1.

This may mean we are entering recovery for the first time.

For others, it may be because we are coming off of a relapse.

There is a false stigma that coming in with 1 day is something to be ashamed of. Sadly, millions of people die because of this complete untruth.

The baffling question is, if 100% of us started with 1 day, why are we ashamed? The truth is, not only is sobriety not to be ashamed of, but shows tremendous courage.

Sobriety does not mean all of us get sober the first time and stay sober as, unfortunately, many of us take our will back and relapse over and over again until we finally surrender to the winning team.

We say unfortunately, not because relapse happens, but because many of us never make it back.

If you are on day 1, take solace in the fact that we have all been there. There is not one of us who hasn’t.

Relapse doesn’t have to be a part of our recovery journey, but if it is, our message to you is WELCOME, WE LOVE YOU, and are so glad you are here. STAY.

If you are coming into recovery for the first time, our message is, WELCOME, WE LOVE YOU, and are so glad you are here. STAY.

Whatever amount of time you have, you know what day 1 feels like. If you have some sober time, share with others below what it was like for you and any suggestions you have to help.

If you are new, share what you are feeling. In fact, share like your life depends upon it… because it does.

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

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

Thank you for this message this morning. I’m relieved I made it back. Again. I’m scared and getting sick and tired and more depressed every time i go back out and think I can get away with it again.

Every day is day one... And we can all keep sober... One day at a time...

You keep coming back! That’s the best sign that you are on the right path. Im only 80 days but I thought I could never do this. Then I surrendered, and put one foot in front of the other and kept walking! You will do this when you are ready, and once you do, you’ll be amazed at how good you feel. Keep at it. We are here for you!

No matter how many times you relapse you’re always excepted back.. when I stopped drinking I had to because I was going blind from my blood sugar.. I knew I had to stop.. and I was a complete alcoholic.. I drank everyday.. if I wasn’t working I was drinking and there were days I worked and drank.. I had to turn it over to God for Him to take the desire away from me.. and He did.. even tho I tried to drink I didn’t want it.. I have to thank God everyday for my sobriety..!! He’s what got me thru ..
