Loosid Sober Tip of the Day May 26

My ego is not my amigo.

Throughout our sober journey, we come to learn the destructive nature of our ego.

In 12-Step groups we quite often hear about a program of ego deflation.

Though it can seem weird at first to hear the deflation of ego as a symbol of strength, we have found this to be one of the most important things we learn in our sober journey.

The less ego we have, the more room for humility, and the more humility we have, the greater we aspire to listen, to learn and to grow.

Remember, it’s easy to operate from ego. Humility takes daily practice… but it’s worth it!!!

Ego deflation. Tough but have to do it!

My ego is not my amigo! Ego deflation. Love these concepts.

I have not heard of this as I am not in the program, but maybe I should cause this is exactly what I battle with.

Bluntly, while this could philosophy could be fruitful for some, it's not a good rule.

I reject the thesis on a preponderance of the evidence.
