Loosid Sober Tip of the Day July 28

Identify, don’t compare.

When we come into a spiritual program of recovery, many of us will find that we compare our stories with others.

We may feel we have not reached the desperate levels others have or, alternatively, we may look at our stories and think that we have had a much rougher time.

It is not our job to take the inventory of others.

It is very important never to compare stories, but rather identify with the feelings.

Look for the similarities, not the differences.

When we focus on similarities, we will invariably find them.

Great tip. And it doesn’t only apply to programs based in spirituality. This applies to any program of recovery and like Nicole mentioned, should be applied to all aspects of life.

We can relate to other people in our sober lives that’s what keeps us from going back out there!!
