Loosid Sober Tip of the Day May 17

Creating and maintaining an attitude of gratitude.

One of the most powerful tools we learn in a spiritual program of recovery is gratitude.

It is also something that, at first, is very hard to see, as many of us tend to gravitate to the negative and get stuck in self-pity.

Creating a context switch to think what we are grateful for takes us out of self-pity and shifts our thinking into the amazing opportunities and possibilities that lie ahead.

If you have connected with a sober network, you will often find that many of them send out gratitude lists each and every day.

It is a way of giving hope to ourselves as well as to others.

If you are not part of a gratitude group, connect with members below and write down what you are grateful for.

At Loosid, here is what we are grateful for today:

We are grateful to have a platform of likeminded others who share a common bond and help one another on a daily basis.

We are grateful that you read the daily sober tips to better yourself each and every day.

If you are new or just exploring the benefits of sobriety, we are grateful for your courage to ask questions and explore new possibilities.

If you have been sober for a while, we are grateful for setting a great power of example for people who are new and need help.

We are also grateful that you continue to practice a spiritual program every day as we cannot live today on yesterday’s sobriety.

Now, your turn…

What are you grateful for?

Share your gratitude list below.

There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

As a reminder, be sure to connect with others who are posting below and in the feed to grow your sober network. You will never know when you need them, but one thing is for sure… you will need them as we cannot do this alone.

Alone we are powerless, together, there is nothing we can’t accomplish.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

I am grateful for life and my higher power. And for this sober network :sunny:

I am also grateful for this community!

A few things I am grateful for…

I am grateful for my sponsor who guided me and taught me not just the "right way to go" but a “right way to be." I am thankful for the friends and mentors who grounded me, taught me patience, gentleness, rest and trust during times that felt chaotic.

I am grateful for the freedom that comes in having children. Getting to experience the whole world again through my children’s eyes is nothing short of magic. Simple things like watching them sleep or watching my oldest wrestle reminds me of how awe- inspiring life truly is… even when I get used to it. I'm SO grateful for everyone who's supported me this far and thankful for everyone who's welcomed me into their lives. What a gift it is to move towards what's meaningful together.
