Loosid Sober Tip of the Day June 14

There is a stigma that when you get sober, life, as we know it, will be the end of fun.

This stigma could not be further from the truth. In fact, it is quite the opposite.

When we put down the drink or drug and decide to live life on life’s terms, the world opens up for us.

One of the first things we realize is how much of life was wasted on our time drinking or putting substances in our body. Just a few hours a day for happy hour during the week, turns into 40 extra hours a month of quality time.

That could be taking time to learn a new skill, spending more time with your family, working out, meditating, volunteering to help those in need, the list is endless.

Take a few moments to reflect on how many hours were spent each week on drinking or putting substances in your body. If you are just starting out, get excited, as you are about to enter a world of more time to build incredible experiences.

If you have been sober a while, let us know what you have done since you stopped wasting these precious hours days and years that make up this thing we have called life.

How did this tip resonate with you? Let us know your thoughts below. There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

I've ramped up my job search. For this old dinosaur the laptop is still intimidating. Learning to navigate through out will definitely be to my advantage. I've been able to get back to the gym 5 days a week again and even have a job interview with them this coming week.

When I first got sober, I was a mess. My mental health was shut and I was refusing to get help for it because I didn't think that I needed it. Boy was that far from the truth. Now, almost 14 years later, my metal health is a bit better, well a lot better and I am still sober. Thank the Goddess. The last 2 years especially have been extra hard, so ive taken up tattooing. Its a way to sort out my "beed for pain" during the down parts of my mental health, and its a great outlet for me when I feel like I want to use. And man, the struggle is real. Nature walks and water help a lot also. Ground yourself in the now. Always stay proud of any amount of clean time you have. Because any amount, is an amount. Celebrate that! Praise that. Love the fact that youre taking those steps to better your life. Blessings love and light.
