Loosid Sober Tip of the Day May 18

The last two days we have looked at being sober and getting sober. Today, we look at what it takes to stay sober.

One big part of staying sober is to continue to be of service to others on a daily basis, both inside and outside of recovery. There is a saying that the only way to keep our sobriety is to give it away.

This has proved to be incredibly important if not mandatory. Working with others the spiritual program that has freed us reminds us exactly what we need to do so by helping others we help ourselves.

We also need to continue to work the spiritual program that freed us in the first place. In 12-Step groups this consists of working the last 3 steps every day (10,11 & 12).

The final thing is we need to keep connected to our sober network. This could be meetings, support groups, or people who hold you accountable on a daily basis.

Gift yourself today with these 3 important steps of sobriety. You will be surprised the amazing life you have in front of you.

How did these 3 days work for you? If you are newly sober, did they help give you more clarity and more importantly, the impetus to start your journey?

If you have been sober a while, did it help remind you of the journey that you have been through and the importance of taking these 3 steps?

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

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

In order to maintain my recovered physical, mental, and spiritual condition I have to give it away.. I stay recovered one day at a time by giving it away.. I stay sober as a side effect of being recovered.. My recovery gives me the power to say no to the drink or drug.. Whatever I put before my recovery will be the first thing I lose.. That includes my sobriety..

I follow the Smart Recovery program. I have participated in the 12 step programs many times. I could just never wrap my head around tearing myself down like I felt was required in the 12 step program. I knew what I had done and who I was as an active addict. I wanted to move forward, rebuild my life, rebuild the trust of my daughters, Mom, sisters and brothers. I am a person who now trusts God with all my heart, so I combine different ideas and Smart Recovery together to stay clean. What is important is the staying clean and sober. My sobriety date is 2-14-2020. I owe all of this to God. He is the One who can help you pull yourselves from the horrible depths of the addiction pit we fell into. Praying for everyone.:heart:
