Loosid Sober Tip of the Day June 24

How do we get back our self- esteem?

This is a very common question with a very simple answer.

In our active addiction, self-esteem is one of the first things to go. How do we gain back our self-esteem? By doing esteemable acts.

Focus each day to doing an esteemable act. Reach out to a friend who you know is struggling and simply let them know you are thinking about them and they are not alone.

Go up to a homeless person an offer to buy them a cup of coffee or sandwich if you can afford it.

Ask the cashier at the store their name. Wish them a great day.

We tend to severely underestimate the power of simply recognizing a person and acknowledging them as an equal. Why? Because we are all equal.

Little acts of self-esteem will build momentum. Before you know it, you will be beaming with self-esteem.

This tip it’s hard for me because I’m 79 days sober. My clothes aren’t fitting me anymore. When I look in the mirror I make sure the lights are off.
I keep finding blemishes on my body that make me more insecure about myself.
I push myself to the gym and wanna leave because it feels like a waste of time.
It’s so hard to love myself.
