Loosid Sober Tip of the Day Jun 30

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!!!

Humility is Important. Recovery is not comfortable and learning humility helps u shair at NA or alcoholic meetings. The more u share or get into service helps it then u become more comfortable. But still addiction is still uncomfortable

For me, ego is something that took me a little while in the beginning of my recovery to accept, but as I went on recovering, I noticed that it is better to humble yourself because you reach serenity quicker than arguing and trying to make your point across it’s not that serious if you’re right in that person’s wrong ego brings strife and a lot of sadness in my life so I choose to humble myself because my goal has always been to reach happy joyous and free with Ego I cannot get there.
