Loosid Sober Tip of the Day June 22

Sober Tips

There is a saying, “For those amongst us no explanation is necessary. For those not amongst us no explanation is possible.”

We often get frustrated when friends or family members don’t understand why we do what we do.

The truth is, if they are not one of us, they cannot and will not be able to identify with what we are feeling.

This is the beauty of connecting with people who share your common bond.

Surround yourself who can identify with what you are going through. Though our experiences are different, the feelings of loneliness, isolation, and the need to get out of the now remain the same.

I have tried to explain it to my mother a few times. The mental obsession part is where most don’t understand. We’ve had good deep conversation about my alcoholism and what I’m doing as a solution. She has explained to me what happens to her when she drinks alcohol. And it’s very similar to mine but without the obsession and spiritual malady.
I wonder if this conversation would have helped me if we had it when I was younger?

Now that I have a solution to my problem I’m sharing it with my 16 year old son. I’m very open with him about how alcohol became my solution to how I felt and or what problems I was facing. We pray at each meal we have together. He goes to church with me on Sundays he’s with me. I’m very grateful to have him in my life. The alcoholism in my family stops here with me.
