Loosid Sober Tip of the Day May 30

Self-loathing is one of the biggest challenges so many of us share in common before entering a spiritual program of recovery.

Many of us bang our heads against the wall wondering why we can’t stop.

As we have discussed before, the stigma that we cannot stop because of a lack of willpower is 100% incorrect.

We cannot WILL away alcoholism or addiction any more than we can will away diabetes, cancer or any other disease.

The truth is, we can only stop and stay stopped through working a spiritual program of recovery.

One of the biggest parts is forgiving ourselves… and loving ourselves.

When we recognize it is a disease, it is only then that we realize that it is not our fault.

Thankfully, we have a disease that is 100% treatable, provided that we work a daily spiritual program.

Until we understand this, we will continue to think there is something wrong with us.

Just for today, take solace in the fact that there is nothing wrong with you.

Know that you are not alone and there are millions of people who can show you precisely what they do each day and every day to live a beautiful sober life.

You are not alone.

This is SO true! Every single word! I didn’t have a chance until I had a spiritual awakening and then full acceptance of the fact that I couldn’t do it alone, but, WE could! My self loathing was such that I didn’t like, well, hated myself so fully and was so narcissistic in my approach to life, that I couldn’t bear to look in the mirror at myself. I could look at my hair and my chin, but, not my eyes. I can (for a little bit, but, progress not perfection) now. And make that a practice every day. Also, on my knees in the morning and at night. And, having embraced this fully, can now say this, tough situations will come, but, I also know, they will go as long as I don’t go with it back to my misery!
