Loosid Sober Tip of the Day March 14

Emptying our cup.

One of the most important parts of recovery is to empty our old thoughts before we start on our journey.

We cannot start clean and see a clear path if we have beliefs on what we are supposed to do, for it is what we were doing that got us into trouble in the first place.

If we want a clean and clear glass of water, we cannot come in with a dirty cup of water. If we empty most of our cup but still leave a little dirty war inside, we will still have dirty water.

Make sure you surround yourself with people who have clean cups of water.

How do you know they have clean water? Connect with people who speak with grace and dignity. Look for those who match calamity with serenity. It is never about how much sober time they have, for all of us only have 24 hours.

Connect with those who have what you want… ON THE INSIDE.

Just for today, choose to empty your cup completely to let fresh clean water to take its place.

I need to write my alcohol history for step one, and have been procrastinating. This is motivating to get started

This tip has resonated so well with me, especially the 2nd half, as I am and have always been openly accepting of people despite their flaws. Not that this is a bad thing 5 there have to be limits, hard-stops etc, set it place. To hear the advice to connect with people who matched calamity with serenity and who speak with grace and dignity, that is a big part of what was missing. Because I try and be that person, by nature I have already begun to do so, out of sheer exhaustion regarding the bs and drama, but for those I surround myself with, I still very much needed to hear this.
