Loosid Sober Tip of the Day March 26

Sober Tips
#1

Self-loathing is one of the biggest challenges so many of us share in common before entering a spiritual program of recovery.

Many of us bang our heads against the wall wondering why we can’t stop.

As we have discussed before, the stigma that we cannot stop because of a lack of willpower is 100% incorrect.

We cannot WILL away alcoholism or addiction any more than we can will away diabetes, cancer or any other disease.

The truth is, we can only stop and stay stopped through working a spiritual program of recovery.

One of the biggest parts is forgiving ourselves… and loving ourselves.

When we recognize it is a disease, it is only then that we realize that it is not our fault.

Thankfully, we have a disease that is 100% treatable, provided that we work a daily spiritual program.

Until we understand this, we will continue to think there is something wrong with us.

Just for today, take solace in the fact that there is nothing wrong with you.

Know that you are not alone and there are millions of people who can show you precisely what they do each day and every day to live a beautiful sober life.

You are not alone.

Thank you for this. Knowing that it is not about something being ‘wrong’ with me. It is a disease that I has a solution. I have a choice everyday to not pick up. The reframing is helpful.

The longest time I’ve been sober is probably 35 days. Every time I start the detox process. My body starts falling apart and starts hurting. Im noticing that the left side by my rib cage is in severe pain.
I pray everyday to take the pain away. I ask god for my labs to come back normal.
I don’t know why I’m going through this right now. All I want is for my body to be healthy again.

Needed to hear that it truly is a disease and not a character defect a weakness of will on my part. So many people in my life can't understand why I can't just stop.
Thank you for this affirmation!

This Month I'm celebrating 35 years of SOBRIETY. Be a LONGTERM thinker. Today. 1 day at a time. I will no longer experience the Negative consequences and emotions of a Mind That is undisciplined. BELIEF. HOPE. AND APPLIED FAITH. Are the positive emotions that govern a SUCCESSFUL LIFE. Having a GOD GIVEN DREAM AND VISION for your LIFE will keep you in the GOD side of LIFE. TRUST the process of RECOVERY and you will have it.
