Loosid Sober Tip of the Day Jun 30

Sober Tips
#1

We are as sick as our secrets.

This is a common expression used in recovery. It is important to feel our feelings and share with people what’s going on with the challenges in our lives.

What we hold inside builds up like a slow boil which at some point will manifest itself in some way, shape or form.

If you are struggling, share your struggles today.

If it’s something that is personal, be sure to share it with a trusted, close-mouthed friend. In 12-Step programs this is normally reserved for a sponsor.

In other settings, it may be more suitable for a professional.

What you need to know is that asking for help is something you should never be ashamed of but rather one to be proud of as you are taking steps to work through your challenges.

It is an act of power and courage.

Free yourself today by letting out what is inside of you and ask for help.

You are worth it.

I think I hold a lot in. Because I can never find a closed mouthed friend. Or even a true friend to begin with. I tell someone something thinking as they were a friend. But in the end is all the same .(BURNT)!!! What sucks is my trust is leaving me with no hope in AA! That’s what sucks.

Good morning! Just dropped down on my knees and let go of a whole lot. Things I been holding onto out of fear of releasing what's been holding me in my addiction. Fear of what might be for me in a positive way because I'm not used to that, been used to chaos and dysfunction. Today I looking for peace and confirmation!! Everyone have a blessed day and stay strong!!:purple_heart::purple_heart:

Today is my 14 years. Its also my daughters 14th birthday. I struggle cause obviously yall know what that means. I struggle with my mental health. Deep down, I dont wanna be here. Deep down, I dont want to be clean. I want to run. I want to hide. I want to be numb. I want to not feel the pain and torture that my mind battle on a daily basis. I have BpD. I self harmed the other day when I split. It was a bad split. I beat myself with my paddle pretty badly. Bruised up good. I am ashamed. So very ashamed. And last night, I was so sad. Do defeated. I tattooed myself instead. A big piece. On my stomach. I wish I did that the other day instead of beating myself. I hate my life today instead of being proud of how far I have come. I dont know what im becoming. I want to hide. I am struggling. I want to pick up that m*** again. Im 14 years sober today and i dont want to be. Im not proud.anymore. I want to hide. I hate myself. I hate my life. Even though, its a beautiful life. I have so much shame. And I am alone.

I hear ya ! I hold alot in for fear of being judged . I told something personal to someone in another country , they swore secrecy, then I arrive in my home country & say blah blah blah to a friend & she says yeah she heard , from a friend of a friend . No one can be trusted, except your higher power

I most definitely do this all the time. I just let it bottle up inside. Struggle a lot with asking for help. However I am trying to work on it slowly.
