Loosid Sober Tip of the Day June 25

Sober Tips

Expectations are future resentments in disguise.

We often spend our lives upset about people who have wronged us.

As we go through our recovery journey, you may realize that your moral compass is different than others.

Do not have expectations.

If someone does not act in a way that is in line with the principles you live your life, know that has nothing to do with you.

Pray for them as they are sick and suffering and need help.

No matter what, do not let this affect your serenity. At the end of the day, it is their garbage to pick up not yours.

Help them the best you can and if they are not willing to receive your help, move on and help someone who has the willingness to change.

Love this! Expectations are premeditated resentments which then lead to a drink! I was told once, take a Hula hoop and place it around your waistline. Then drop it to the ground. Now look at the space between the hula hoop and you. This area is all I can control. Everything outside this area is out of my control.

I’ve found that some people don’t want help. And certainly don’t want to change.. they’re happier living in self pity.. my sister lost both of her legs due to drugs.. but she continues to be an addict.. and doesn’t care about anyone except herself.. I use to try to clean for her but she yelled at me so I quit.. I won’t put up with her abusive language and actions.. so she lives in filth and that’s the way she likes it.. you can’t help some people..!!

I understand. My sister died from refusing to do the right thing, ever.

I pray for my family especially my sister but I’ve learned that I can’t help her.. I’ve excepted that she’s not going to change.. so I have to move on.. and let her die in her own misery.. and not let her bring me down into her miserable life.. I have too keep my head above water.. I can’t live her life for her.. can’t even try.. she will pull me down with her..!! I thank God for the strength that I take one day at a time..
