Loosid Sober Tip of the Day May 02

Sober Tips
#1

The world record for sobriety is 24 hours and nobody’s broken it yet.

This short tip contains perhaps the most powerful message we will ever hear in recovery.

Many people come into recovery thinking, ‘how can I live the rest of my life without drinking or drugging?’

The answer is… you don’t have to.

There is absolutely no need to worry about whether we will drink tomorrow, next week, or next year.

Make a commitment to not pick up a drink or drug just for today. That’s all we need. All we ever will need.

Well said. I remember having this exact thought/feeling. I used to think about what it would be like to share a beer with my son for the first time (when he's old enough). It kind of bummed me out a little bit, thinking about how I'm NEVER going to drink again... Now, I love my life. I love how I feel. I'm so much more present. I get to FEEL again. At 38 years old, it's almost like I'm experiencing life for the first time. Thank you for your time. God bless. :pray:

Im glad I saw this because I'm recently getting sober after a relapse. I was sober 3 years before my relapse, and I caught myself thinking yesterday about how can I stay sober for the rest of my life. This tip helps me remember not to worry about the future but do what I have to do to stay sober today. Great tip!

Man I swear these tips I always hear what I need to maybe it's my higher power trying to tell me something. I drank a couple last night after not drinking for 2 days. It's tough it really is because my mind goes right to what it's saying how can I live the rest of my life without using? Y'all say one day at a time but it truly is the rest of your life and I feel like I'm lying to myself trying to think differently. Idk I'm still struggling every day, every hour, every minute it seems but at least I keep trying. Thank you to whoever reads this

I can stay sober today. I can go to a meeting today and talk to my sponsor or someone in my support group
