Loosid Sober Tip of the Day May 31

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:

It’s easier for me to list the things that I’m happy about lately when prompted, so thank you.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve struggled with work, romantic relationships, and family dynamics. Sometimes, all of the emotional repercussions that come with this loss, forces me lose sight of the progress I’ve made.

My Mother and I are developing healthier boundaries which is a big step considering our history. My bills are getting paid, my side job is finally getting off the ground, new job offers are coming in and all of this is happening because of my attempts to stay sober, consistent, and loving myself through the hard times. Self care has been a huge step for me.

Thanks all. First entry. Sending love, prayers, peace, and grace to our community.
