Loosid Sober Tip of the Day July 3

Learning to love ourselves is one of the hardest challenges we face when entering a spiritual program of recovery.

So many of us look at the harm we have done and think that it is impossible we will ever get to a point to right our wrongs.

Many more amongst us think we do not deserve to get better.

Just for today, give yourself the gift of recognizing your accomplishments.

No matter who you are, you took two very big steps today.

You opened Loosid to get help… and you read a tip to get advice and guidance.

Sadly, there are millions of people on this very day who are stuck in denial and refuse to accept the possibility that they need help, and for this reason they didn’t take any steps.

Take one more step today… walk over to your mirror and look at yourself and say, “I’m proud of you.”

Why? Because you should be.

How did this tip resonate with you? Let us know your thoughts below. There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

Needed this today, thank you

My first sponsor had me stand in front of the mirror and say I love you Ron. I need to be reminded of such positive reinforcement. I’m proud of you Ron

Me too

Yes! This is so true, it is easier to say that you love yourself and truly show that you really love yourself by your actions.
This is a great reminder.
Someone told me once a long time ago, if you're hurting yourself this way, how are you supposed to love me?
He was right, if we can't love ourselves, we really can't love anyone else either. And yes, apart of loving ourselves is to humbly ask for help because we want it, more than we need it.

We need to remind ourselves often and tell ourselves “you are worth it”!

Sometimes it’s crazy to still hear my friends and people I care about tell me there proud of me and I’m doing a great job I have surrounded myself around destructive people for 32 years in one way or another. And I have never liked myself I was always trying to fit in be part of that some we’re along the line I lost myself trying to please everybody else . I still struggle with this task still trying to love who I see when I look in the mirror.
