Loosid Sober Tip of the Day June 20

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!!!

It made me think if I wad doing things work or not. It was a nice reminder to be humble.

I know that when I begin to compare my practice to that of others, or to mourn the life I think I had or should have…my ego is trying to take the wheel. Because I’m beginning to feel less than whole, less than others, less than perfect.
And the truth is, there is only now and I can live a more spiritual and whole life in that now or I can let ego drive me deep into chaos again.
