Loosid Sober Tip of the Day November 19

Learning to love ourselves is one of the hardest challenges we face when entering a spiritual program of recovery.

So many of us look at the harm we have done and think that it is impossible we will ever get to a point to right our wrongs.

Many more amongst us think we do not deserve to get better.

Just for today, give yourself the gift of recognizing your accomplishments.

No matter who you are, you took two very big steps today.

You opened Loosid to get help… and you read a tip to get advice and guidance.

Sadly, there are millions of people on this very day who are stuck in denial and refuse to accept the possibility that they need help, and for this reason they didn’t take any steps.

Take one more step today… walk over to your mirror and look at yourself and say, “I’m proud of you.”

Why? Because you should be.

How did this tip resonate with you? Let us know your thoughts below. There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

Even after 4 years of sobriety, I still find it hard to look in the mirror and say I love you and I'm proud of you but one day I know I will be able to

I don't look in the mirror every day and say that I'm proud of myself and say I love myself being clean for 7 years it's still hard for me to say I have a lot of character defects and transgressions that I'm working on

I’m proud of myself for staying sober for 5 months and 2 days. I’m proud of myself for going to school to get my bachelors degree. I’m proud of myself for doing the internal work on myself so that I can be an example of how to come from misery to freedom. I’m proud of myself for being a better mother to my son. I’m proud of myself for taking my medication everyday.

Nearing 3 years and I still don't "get" how to love myself. Feels narcissistic and I have fear of feeding the ego. I know practice is all I can do

I struggle with this ...my abusive boyfriend knocked out my front teeth and I'm struggling with being able to afford dental work...I know I shouldn't let it bother me but it does and I feel like it hinders my recovery because I'm embarrassed and really haven't strengthened my network....but I have 4 months sober and just for today I'm ok

I loved this because even though the journey gets tiring it's worth every step everyday one day at a time

I am proud of myself for making 1 year and I have accomplished and repaired so many relationships with my family. I love myself for doing the work that was necessary for me to get 2 grandchildren in my life.I am a proud grandfather who wouldn't have been able to say that a year and a half ago.Thank you god for a new chance to grow and live a program that is a design for living.Im proud of everyone who is trying to change to be a better person and I love everyone who is still suffering. We are all sick and we can get better if we take our medicine.AMEN
