Loosid Sober Tip of the Day November 22

There is a stigma that when you get sober, life, as we know it, will be the end of fun.

This stigma could not be further from the truth. In fact, it is quite the opposite.

When we put down the drink or drug and decide to live life on life’s terms, the world opens up for us.

One of the first things we realize is how much of life was wasted on our time drinking or putting substances in our body. Just a few hours a day for happy hour during the week, turns into 40 extra hours a month of quality time.

That could be taking time to learn a new skill, spending more time with your family, working out, meditating, volunteering to help those in need, the list is endless.

Take a few moments to reflect on how many hours were spent each week on drinking or putting substances in your body. If you are just starting out, get excited, as you are about to enter a world of more time to build incredible experiences.

If you have been sober a while, let us know what you have done since you stopped wasting these precious hours days and years that make up this thing we have called life.

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:

I was in good shape. Now I’m in great shape. Golf game is much better. Being present means I’m not missing alot of things because I remember them now. Also working on mindfulness and being the best person I can be today.

I love how being clean is allowing me to be more of my true self & not altering my personality. I remember being so irritated & stressed all the time, never being able to be calm & enjoy the moments

I'm going to have to deal with questions - internal and external - about my sobriety for the rest of my life. What is my character? Am I acting as Sarah, or am I playing a part to 'make sure' I'm 'proving' I'm sober.

I can totally relate

I’ve aloud toxins to enter into my life and cloud my progress for change I’m going back to old habits and thought patterns that enable me to see my worth and believe that I deserve happiness. I needed to see this to get a visualization on what is more important (progress)-(hindrance)
I chose progress and being free from drugs/alcohol to succeed with my life and take sobriety more seriously Thank you

Good question
