Loosid Sober Tip of the Day November 29

Home is not where you live but where they understand you.

So many of us are confused or even frustrated why our friends or loved ones don’t understand why we cannot stop on our self-will alone.

Even more of us buy into what our friends or loved ones tell us about our addiction.

They may say we don’t have enough willpower. They may tell us to just say no.

They may also try to explain to us if they can moderate their drinking, we should be able to do the same. This is 100% incorrect.

Don’t be upset with them. Not even for a minute. Remember, those amongst us no explanation is necessary. Those not amongst us, no explanation is possible.

This is why it is of critical importance to surround yourself with other people who share your common bond. It matters not where we come from.

We may come from a beautiful loving home, or we way come from a place where home was absolute chaos.

Each day, remember that home is not where you live but where they understand you.

Find your home today. Connect with others who understand. Though our experiences may be different, the feelings of isolation are the same.

I need to understand myself and like myself again before I can expect my friends or family to.

'For those not amongst us, no explanation is possible' is always a powerful statement. Once you accept this you realize it's absolute truth and interact with people differently.

Great tip. Off today for Thanksgiving holiday. Plan on going to Noon mtg!

I’m lost!

Awwwww. Tell us how we can help!!!

Leah, there’s a solution to being lost. Get a map. A sobriety map. Post in the forum you need that map and others will show you directions.
