Loosid Sober Tip of the Day July 30

Sober Tips
#1

My ego is not my amigo.

Throughout our sober journey, we come to learn the destructive nature of our ego.

In 12-Step groups we quite often hear about a program of ego deflation.

Though it can seem weird at first to hear the deflation of ego as a symbol of strength, we have found this to be one of the most important things we learn in our sober journey.

The less ego we have, the more room for humility, and the more humility we have, the greater we aspire to listen, to learn and to grow.

Remember, it’s easy to operate from ego. Humility takes daily practice… but it’s worth it!!!

Being grateful for all you have is very important! If all you have was the ability to wake up and have another day that is something to be grateful for!!!

Completely agree and love this saying — I have felt my ego drop and it doesn’t feel good. On the flip side, I felt my ego soar yesterday and I returned to mindfulness and the present moment. Even keel is a good thing — as long as I am surfing/thriving, the ego is doing its thing and I don’t need to out too much emphasis on it !

By quieting my ego I am more likely to hear what my higher power has to say. I just have to be willing to surrender what I hear. Or, I can just do the opposite of what my ego is saying over and over in my head. It’s almost always the same thing.
