Loosid Sober Tip of the Day March 24

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.

They tell us in AA to stick with the winners. It doesn't mean the other people are losers. We just need to hang with those who will build us up, not bring us down. It's usually easy to tell who's who after spending a little time with them :trophy:

I'm still waiting to find my tribe...having a baby before hitting the one year sobriety milestone kind of set me back a bit. Not a bad thing at all, lol! I just keep reminding myself to continue to do the next right thing, clean house, help others & trust in my Higher Power.
