Sober Tips

Do you want to be right, or do you want to be free?

In recovery, we often hear the words irritable, restless and discontent. One of the biggest blockages that keeps us in this state is holding onto past resentments or ‘justified anger.’

The problem is, until you can release the resentment, you will never be free. Justified or not.

Resentment is very much like you drinking the poison and waiting for the other party to suffer.

Letting go of your resentment is the key to your freedom.

Will you have to do some work to get there? Absolutely. There are is a spiritual path waiting for you to help to get you to the other side.

There is no value in being right at the expense of your freedom.

Choose to be free today. Why? Because you deserve it.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

I have a God whom I give what I can't handle. I had to make my journey a spiritual one from the start as I couldn't do it alone :heart: or so I thought :thinking: I have a lot of trauma that inticed my drug abuse starting at 3 years old. I am now 48 and have had some very serious resentment issues that resulted in cPTSD with trauma rage. So I figured at first that love, I found out, is a huge word. As the only true relationship I ever had was with my children, and on my path I had met sober non toxic people. I wasn't alone and somehow I was making it through day by day. I realize now to have a healthy relationship with anyone I first had to deal with this no matter how justified I truly was in anger... It was far from healthy. I am medically ill due to trauma and toxicity I figured there was no way out of. I found a way as forgiveness is a big word with tons of emotions. I cleaned out my trunk first. I started to care about all the poison and how badly it was affecting me. I then at deaths doorstep was begging my God for another go at it. I put faith in me as I saw God did. I went to get help at a behavioral health center. I joined anger management voluntarily, I joined every recovery group I could find in town. After a step study and after having a therapist and good clean people working towards the same thing as me, I can gratefully say I found my way, I found me. Let resentment lie. Walk into your new path, a new way is waiting. Nothing changes if nothing changes :sparkles:🫶:raised_hands:

5 years sober and I still have issues with resentment sometimes. Definitely takes work to get through if it’s a tough one. I need to remind myself at these times things like, I don’t have to respond. I choose to live my life in a peaceful state, you are free to live yours as you please. I get to wish them well and release them.
