Sober Tips

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!!!

As long as humility isn’t confused with self worth. We can be humble yet appreciate how far we’ve come.

I believe that ego ran my life. I've been sober for almost 3 years. It creeps up on me sometimes. I am able to recognize it today. I treat people how I want to be treated. I'm not better or worse than anyone

I know this is supposed to be about sobriety, but this could very easily be great relationship advice as well. Good stuff though. I can definitely relate. Practically every day I think about where I was before compared to now. I still have trouble being kind to myself, but I know I've accomplished a lot. I don't want to risk losing all the progress I've made and go back. It's not worth it. Stay strong out there! :muscle::pray::v::heart:

Being humble and practicing humility keeps me grounded. I struggle with relapse because I don't keep being sober as a priority. There's nothing that drinking has ever actually better in the Long run. I'm a poor "BUS DRIVER"! JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL! :pensive:

I like this a lot a friend of mine at the meeting yesterday even told me something I guess I didn't think about. I thought he was mad that I relapsed but he's like you ain't that important bro and he's right. You just gotta be important for yourself I feel but not to a point where it's you thinking you control everything. Idk I'm learning everyday and even though I keep relapsing at least I'm not giving up. Trying to look at the positives more lol

I love to get mad at the disease, not the person who is struggling with it
