Loosid Sober Tip of the Day June 30

Sober Tips
#1

Finding the good in YOU.

Yesterday, we looked at finding the good in others. Hopefully, that has given you some very strong relief and freed up quite a bit of wasted energy on anger and resentment.

As we have heard countless times, resentment is the #1 offender.

Quite often, the person we most resent most in life is ourselves.

Just for today, focus on the good in you.

Most of us have harmed many people in our active addiction and have a hard time forgiving ourselves for what we have done.

Just for today, focus on the actions you have taken now that you have entered a new journey.

What have you done to be of service to others? What have you done that started you on this spiritual path?

If you are still new or are in active addiction, just by reading this daily tip shows great willingness to change. That is GOOD. Very GOOD.

If nothing comes to mind, think of what good you can do today to help others. Think of what good you can do to learn more about the path to recovery.

If you are confused or don’t know where to start, post below any questions you may have.

If you have been around a bit, please share with the community the GOOD about you and what you have been able to do since entering recovery.

There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

Thank you for that tip. This journey I’m taking hasn’t been easy in any way. I still struggle with urges to use on a daily basis. I was taught by my mom (god rest her soul) to look for the good in people and replace any negative thoughts with positive thoughts. I’m learning who I am, learning to love myself, I’m 10 months sober and I am looking forward to a bright future. I hope that I can help people that are struggling like myself. Todays tip resonated with me, I needed to read that. Thank you for this great gem!

I reached out to a sober friend when I was struggling and we talked about spirituality and other things. I like that I can make it through extremely difficult things, right now I'm trying to not resent myself for my relapse but see me as someone who just needs more help, as far as being of service to others I think I need to work on that

What if I’m having a hard time forgiving myself for all the wrongs I have made? I’m so quick to forgive someone else but when it comes to me I hold a higher standard.

But I also am a house monitor for cornerstone recovery for women I try to share my strength and hope past mistakes in hopes that they can hear a message of recovery. I also have my BHT degree that I’ve gained in my recovery every day is a struggle somedays I’m tired and wore out but I just don’t want to be the old me anymore.today I struggle with simple things god has been good to me but most of all I’m starting to realize that I am worthy of a better life so I’m trying to build a foundation we’re god is my rock

God, as my Higher Power, is showing me to help others as secretly as possible to keep from getting any accolades to validate or attempt to redeem any past or present choices that may hurt others or myself. In contemporary culture, deeds are a binding, legal document that declare possession or ownership. Formerly, I would attempt to buy or earn myself into the lives of others by obligating them to return a favor or action that I did for them. As a sober man, I enjoy blessing people randomly, anonymously and happily with no strings attached; myself included, whenever I end a prayer by saying "...thy will be done!"
