Loosid Sober Tip of the Day November 17

In order to heal, we have to feel.

In our active addiction, most of us have used substances to numb ourselves so as not to feel anything in our lives that wasn’t going according to OUR plan.

When we enter a spiritual program of recovery, we learn that the only way to recover is to lean into the very same things we were running away from for so long.

No one has ever lived a life according to OUR plan. No matter who you are, life will have joy and sadness. Love and loss. Dark and light.

That’s called life.

When we get sober, much of our spiritual work is on complete acceptance of life on life’s terms and feeling ALL feelings good and ‘bad’.

More importantly, we change our perception of what we used to call ‘bad’.

From our ‘problems’ come our greatest lessons. From our ‘pain’ comes our greatest growth.

Just for today, be willing to accept all that comes, good and bad.

Take solace in the fact that there is a spiritual program to embrace it all.

Good and bad. That’s life!

Therapy is effective too if that spiritual path ain't your bag

This is one of your better ones. Pain is weakness leaving the body. Weakness is disease.

Life is Mot What Hsppins to Us
It's Our thinking, Attitudes and Choicd to Act like God tske this And Then Do My Best .....Each Moment today I can be happy and grateful. Useful and responsible....Yes it ain't ez. It gets tough when life shows up...but I remember My Old Life and Celebrate my new one by being nice and helpful Or shut up and be helpful ha ha
Thanks

I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life but I’m beginning to heal.. it’s taken me 68 years to figure out what is best for me.. I’ve taken care of everyone else around me but I never take care of myself.. I use to do things for me.. but I’m always try’n to make everyone else happy I’m not happy.. I know I have a lot to do to get where I need to be.. never thought I’d be here at this stage of my life.. I know God has a plan for me and wants only good and for me to prosper..
