Loosid Sober Tip of the Day May 21

Finding the good in YOU.

Yesterday, we looked at finding the good in others. Hopefully, that has given you some very strong relief and freed up quite a bit of wasted energy on anger and resentment.

As we have heard countless times, resentment is the #1 offender.

Quite often, the person we most resent most in life is ourselves.

Just for today, focus on the good in you.

Most of us have harmed many people in our active addiction and have a hard time forgiving ourselves for what we have done.

Just for today, focus on the actions you have taken now that you have entered a new journey.

What have you done to be of service to others? What have you done that started you on this spiritual path?

If you are still new or are in active addiction, just by reading this daily tip shows great willingness to change. That is GOOD. Very GOOD.

If nothing comes to mind, think of what good you can do today to help others. Think of what good you can do to learn more about the path to recovery.

If you are confused or don’t know where to start, post below any questions you may have.

If you have been around a bit, please share with the community the GOOD about you and what you have been able to do since entering recovery.

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

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

I look to help at work more. I know longer look at my job as a means to simply get money for my needs. It’s where can I help and serve with my colleagues and the community we serve. I also look at others with empathy and consider what they might be going through, and I look to help or listen if I can. With NOTHING in return. That’s the challenging part. I forgave myself because I didn’t have the tool, but I realize where I was going and where I am now. If I was blessed with grace, I can receive it and be grateful for who and where I am :pray:t4::pray:t4:

I hurt the people I love the most so much especially my wife who I love unconditionally but I destroyed her trust on so many levels. What I struggle with the most is proofing to her that I am really changed and that I will do anything to make this marriage work. She is having such a tough time believing that this is permanent and she is terrified that the old me will reappear and hurt her further. Obviously I can say whatever I want. It’s actions that reestablish trust. She is afraid to let herself believe. I don’t blame her and I
Am at a loss as to how to show her that the investment in me this time is worth it. This is my second marriage and she met me during the worst period of my life. At the lowest point. She never had the opportunity to meet the respected man with integrity who was successful but only the train wreck of a person I became. I am so scared to lose her

I’m just so much more happier, writing a gratitude list, positive affirmations r huge for me bc I can be such a negative Nancy. I’m just always trying to do the next right thing. 🫶🏻
