Loosid Sober Tip of the Day November 20

Facing Life on Life’s Terms

When we get sober, we no longer numb out life’s problems.

We actually feel our feelings for the first time, and often times, for most of us, this can be very overwhelming.

Take solace in knowing that you are now facing life on life’s terms.

When you face life on life’s terms and find solutions to challenges as opposed to running away from them, you get better at life.

Will it be uncomfortable at first? Absolutely.

During this time, it is very important to reach out to other people who have been in recovery and have some sober reference.

These are the people who will get you through these challenging times.

In unity there is strength.

I like the reminder that we get better at it with practice. There is hope!

Good Morning Sober Friends! I am struggling with the holiday coming up this week & trying to accept the fact that I could possibly be spending it at home, alone. I know meetings will be having Thanksgiving dinners, but which 1 do I go to if I don’t have a home group yet? Having these thoughts also make me have the thoughts of “maybe I should just get high and drink so I don’t have to feel anything” I don’t want to do that though. Maybe I’ll go feed the homeless or see where I can be of help within the community because getting high and drinking isn’t the answer.

I’m enjoying crying, laughing. Feeling things hard and real. Good and the bad. It’s exciting to me to finally be facing things full on instead of cowering inside a bottle

Life on Life’s terms! Honestly still tough for me. Newly sober and honestly I still am fighting the need to check out once in awhile w/alcohol. That was my last relapse! I’m sober today! Working on this daily!!

So very true and so worth my sobriety

Exactly what I needed to read today.:v:t6:
