Loosid Sober Tip of the Day June 30

There is a stigma that when you get sober, life, as we know it, will be the end of fun.

This stigma could not be further from the truth. In fact, it is quite the opposite.

When we put down the drink or drug and decide to live life on life’s terms, the world opens up for us.

One of the first things we realize is how much of life was wasted on our time drinking or putting substances in our body. Just a few hours a day for happy hour during the week, turns into 40 extra hours a month of quality time.

That could be taking time to learn a new skill, spending more time with your family, working out, meditating, volunteering to help those in need, the list is endless.

Take a few moments to reflect on how many hours were spent each week on drinking or putting substances in your body. If you are just starting out, get excited, as you are about to enter a world of more time to build incredible experiences.

If you have been sober a while, let us know what you have done since you stopped wasting these precious hours days and years that make up this thing we have called life.

How did this tip resonate with you? Let us know your thoughts below. There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

I have fed the homeless, speak at celebrate recovery groups about how my life once was, and how it is now, I facilitate my own alcoholics anonymous meeting on Monday night here in Tampa, and I’ve got my certifications to be a special needs instructor for kids with disabilities And have been doing that for almost one year now! I definitely will not be doing any of these things if I was still drinking and using drugs! I have almost 5 years sobriety, and I am grateful for the life I have today compared to the life I could still be living or not have at all!!!:camel:

I’m finally 84 days sober! I’m starting to remember things I’m passionate about like: I love being healthy, I love learning new things from reading articles, listening to podcasts, and cooking healthy meals.
There are times where I don’t even wanna get out of bed. So I pray to the higher power which gives me a peace of mind.
Who knew getting sober takes so much energy & dedication.
