Loosid Sober Tip of the Day March 31

Sober Tips
#1

Identify, don’t compare.

When we come into a spiritual program of recovery, many of us will find that we compare our stories with others.

We may feel we have not reached the desperate levels others have or, alternatively, we may look at our stories and think that we have had a much rougher time.

It is not our job to take the inventory of others.

It is very important never to compare stories, but rather identify with the feelings.
Look for the similarities, not the differences.

When we focus on similarities, we will invariably find them.

I am guilty of comparing but this message bridges description and definition to now a sound understanding

#4

I do understand why some people may compare themselves to others

#5

Im also guilty of this in my recovery. The most frustrating part for me is tryna stay grateful for what I do have, and not continuing to self sabotage.

I think it's normal to compare sometimes, but it's important to identify with others in recovery and focus on the similarities. That's what makes belonging to a recovery community and having sober support so worthwhile. We're with our people and we help each other

#7

Who are we to judge? I think if we focus on our own recovery and our own life we will be just fine when we start taking others inventory that's when we can become judgemental. As long as you are clean and sober, I don't care how you got there for what you are doing to maintain your sobriety. It's really not my business. I just congratulate you for being sober :100:

I'm struggling with patience. Indeed I know it will help me more to hear from others who are struggling the same way or can offer me advice but especially those who are going through what I'm going through or have similar stories to me. It can also be a good distraction to find out what else I may have in common with someone else
