Loosid Sober Tip of the Day Jun 05

If you don’t go within, you go without.

Getting to know ourselves is easier said than done. For those in recovery, we often realize that before starting on our sober path, we had spent our lives seeking outside validation and tended to focus on the externals.

Whether it was the new car, the house, the fancy watch, nothing seemed to fill that empty hole that resided within us.

In fact, if we look within, we see the more we focused on the externals, the further we distanced ourselves from where we needed to go.

Recovery is an inside job. This requires courage to be open to look within and clean up what is inside that will release us from the pain and set us on a path to freedom and happiness.

Choose to start your work inside each morning. Feel the feelings and take note of the disturbances. In order to fix life’s challenges, we need to know the challenges that exist.

It is only then we can get excited to get to work to release ourselves of what’s blocking us and begin our journey to get to the other side.

It makes sense

MY resolve is to pray and be proactive in my recovery. The stressors of trying to find a new job at my age,66+1/2 is daunting. I've been working since I was 15. I've been in management twice in two different fields. I'm 18 from the neck up :grinning: I believe that I have a lot to offer. MY daily goal is to make someone smile or laugh :grin: if it's acceptable to ask for your prayers, yes please :pray::pleading_face::pray:

An inside job indeed! I needed a lot of help with this. Staying active in the recovery community, having a good sponsor, and working the steps have all been very beneficial.
