Loosid Sober Tip of the Day November 07

Sober Tips
#1

We are as sick as our secrets.

This is a common expression used in recovery. It is important to feel our feelings and share with people what’s going on with the challenges in our lives.

What we hold inside builds up like a slow boil which at some point will manifest itself in some way, shape or form.

If you are struggling, share your struggles today.

If it’s something that is personal, be sure to share it with a trusted, close-mouthed friend. In 12-Step programs this is normally reserved for a sponsor.

In other settings, it may be more suitable for a professional.

What you need to know is that asking for help is something you should never be ashamed of but rather one to be proud of as you are taking steps to work through your challenges.

It is an act of power and courage.

Free yourself today by letting out what is inside of you and ask for help.

You are worth it.

I relapsed a couple months ago and I'm having trouble getting passed it. It feels like I'm finally using all the tragedy I've experienced as an excuse. I'm not back to drinking the way I used to but still... I'm back to questioning myself and having doubts about whether sobriety is for me

Luis Torres, take it to your HIGHER POWER. You got the tools use them. AND START ATTENDING REGULAR MEETINGS!

I went through something similar and it tore me up but it tore me up because I didn’t allow myself to be human. To have feelings, to go through stuff, and to ask for help when I needed it instead of when it was too late. I then had to accept that I can’t go back in the past and change it. I have to accept what’s happened and work to prevent it next time. I also struggled with whether or not I even wanted to continue and then I realized that nothing good really ever came from drinking. It’s a temporary pleasure. I want everlasting peace, so I work towards that. It’s not the easier road, it’s the road that makes life worth living though. At least for me. To be able to enjoy life authentically is a blessing that I wouldn’t have been able to receive if I didn’t put the bottle down and work through my traumas. Take a step back, get out of your head, and reach out your hand- to your higher power, to the people that love you, to the strangers that care, and to the professionals who dedicate their life to helping you through some of your toughest times. Gives your self a chance to truly live.

I love this because I used to be so scared to ask for help and scared to show my emotions and being sober has taught me That it is actually stronger to ask for ask help when you are struggling then to try to do it on your own. Today I know I can talk to my sponsor or my therapist and don't have to hold all my feelings inside. I can ride the wave and eventually it will go away

It's such a relief to be able to share my emotions in the morning meetings. It helps me come out of my shell, also.

#10

It resonated with me in the way that I needed to hear it...I tend to keep to myself and forget about warm wishes. My tip of the day was
"Be the you that you want to see thriving growing and learning"
Thank you loosid!
