Loosid Sober Tip of the Day March 02

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.

I have had more fun being sober and I ever did my whole addiction! I have already learned a kayak, gone white water rafting, tubing down Cuyahoga valley River, and hiked and laid out on the ground at Star parks watching the Milky Way go overhead

Well, coming up on 12yrs clean and sober, I can honestly say that I have been enjoying life free from any mind altering substances. Not every day was a bed of roses as they say, but, "I," have been having more fun clean. Heck I be laughing at things that use to baffle me. Laughing at myself saying "Man what an idiot I Was!" Or even better, some say where was God, well he was saving my dumb rear-end and I did even know it!!!!!!

I didn't want to get sober because I knew I'd never have fun anymore. Wrong!

I've went to a rally in my state capitol to help pass the clean slate bill, I have started taking classes at a community college to help others with SUD, I've started therapy and feel so much better about myself, I have a great job and I have much better relationships with my family
