Loosid Sober Tip of the Day June 3

Facing Life on Life’s Terms

When we get sober, we no longer numb out life’s problems.

We actually feel our feelings for the first time, and often times, for most of us, this can be very overwhelming.

Take solace in knowing that you are now facing life on life’s terms.

When you face life on life’s terms and find solutions to challenges as opposed to running away from them, you get better at life.

Will it be uncomfortable at first? Absolutely.

During this time, it is very important to reach out to other people who have been in recovery and have some sober reference.

These are the people who will get you through these challenging times.

In unity there is strength.

Life is certainly different not drinking and drugging.. I’ve been sober since May 27,1996.. but I started on crack after I quit.. I had never done hard drugs in my life but it took away the problems of life..? I got to the point where that was all the life I had. It numbed my thinking where I didn’t care anymore.. but it was by the grace of God that listened to my prayers because I didn’t want to to back down that rod again I had been clean for14 but my mother died and that was when I didn’t want to deal with anything.. so made that phone call.. mistake big mistake.. well 3 years later I’m clean and sober. Thankful for having to go to prison and learn the right way to take life on life’s terms and one day at a time.. and God will show you how to live and to be happy..!!

I’ve been there at the beginning of course…. But; I’ve learned through out the 3- years of sobriety of mine to cope with the situation instead of running :running_woman: to a pipe of pill. Love :heart: this. SOBRIETY DATE IS:: 02/02/2019…. Every second, Every Minute, & Definitely Everyday is truly a beautiful :star_struck: blessing to be sober and cope!!!! :100: :v: :smiley:.

I have issues around life on life’s terms. I am only sober today and it was a rough day. I let small things become major stumbling blocks and trip on the details… I am more scattered right now w/o the booze or dope, so holding my attention is hard. Do I want the blessings of a sober life? Yes I do but I’m afraid I’m too far gone sometimes to make it.

I’m still pushing through
