Loosid Sober Tip of the Day July 9

Sober Tips
#1

Self-loathing is one of the biggest challenges so many of us share in common before entering a spiritual program of recovery.

Many of us bang our heads against the wall wondering why we can’t stop.

As we have discussed before, the stigma that we cannot stop because of a lack of willpower is 100% incorrect.

We cannot WILL away alcoholism or addiction any more than we can will away diabetes, cancer or any other disease.

The truth is, we can only stop and stay stopped through working a spiritual program of recovery.

One of the biggest parts is forgiving ourselves… and loving ourselves.

When we recognize it is a disease, it is only then that we realize that it is not our fault.

Thankfully, we have a disease that is 100% treatable, provided that we work a daily spiritual program.

Until we understand this, we will continue to think there is something wrong with us.

Just for today, take solace in the fact that there is nothing wrong with you.

Know that you are not alone and there are millions of people who can show you precisely what they do each day and every day to live a beautiful sober life.

You are not alone.

I have to remember I’m a sick person just like someone with cancer or a disease. I can never safely drink alcohol ever again. It’s definitely not my fault I can’t drink just like it’s not my fault I can’t have dairy or any nightshade fruit or vegetables. I’m allergic to all of these things.

I took my willpower back last night and had DQ blizzard! This morning I paid the price…
This just reinforces that my problem centers in my mind. I had this thought that I could have dairy again.

I’ll be praying a lot today.

I never stopped using because I couldn’t ever get out of the environment I was in the people I’d go to jail or prison get have now we’re to go but back to the same neighborhood and people I couldn’t escape it I came to a place where I know longer wanted to live I hated my life and what it had become I had nobody really. I hated myself I tried to kill my self several times and god had other plans for me I just didn’t know it at the time. I prayed for something better and he answer my prayers he put some one in my life who loved me when I didn’t love myself. And we moved out of state but this time . I did something different I changed everything about who I used to be so I could have a new beginning. It’s easy to back to the old person that I’ve been for 30 years but I truly want to be the person I know I could be and god gave me a different life . And for that I’m truly blessed. I struggle every day to don’t look back cause I’m familiar with that person but I don’t ever want to feel like I did back then truly one day at a time stick around for the miracle .
