Loosid Sober Tip of the Day November 30

Sober Tips
#1

Finding the good in YOU.

Yesterday, we looked at finding the good in others. Hopefully, that has given you some very strong relief and freed up quite a bit of wasted energy on anger and resentment.

As we have heard countless times, resentment is the #1 offender.

Quite often, the person we most resent most in life is ourselves.

Just for today, focus on the good in you.

Most of us have harmed many people in our active addiction and have a hard time forgiving ourselves for what we have done.

Just for today, focus on the actions you have taken now that you have entered a new journey.

What have you done to be of service to others? What have you done that started you on this spiritual path?

If you are still new or are in active addiction, just by reading this daily tip shows great willingness to change. That is GOOD. Very GOOD.

If nothing comes to mind, think of what good you can do today to help others. Think of what good you can do to learn more about the path to recovery.

If you are confused or don’t know where to start, post below any questions you may have.

If you have been around a bit, please share with the community the GOOD about you and what you have been able to do since entering recovery.

There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

Well it takes a whole lot of thinking and convincing yourself on the good that you truly do in your life and on how good you are towards others..I try to go by what others say to me in how sweet and good hearted person I am in the way I treat others and help those in need. Which I do and most of the time I go out of my way just to be that way and do what I can for others. I also try and have asked those I’ve hurt and wronged in any way or form for forgiveness and have I apologized to them as well. Even the most meanest person in this earth has some good in them in some way or form it just takes another to see that in them and let them know about it.. We really don’t realize half the things we do and how we act in our lives. It takes another person to see the real YOU and for them to help you see it as well…so I ask this one thing from you all here on Loosid, if you see anyone doing a good deed or even being nice let that person know about it, like,” hey my friend that was really nice of you do what you did thank you.” And in doing just that you have done a good deed yourself, that’s if the good in YOU…. Stay strong and sober…much love you all

I've been sober almost a year. There is someone who has been coming to AA meetings, but hasn't been able to quit. I've taken him to a couple new/different meetings to get him the best exposure to the fellowship. Yesterday, he told me he is done and wanted to go to detox. He ultimately didn't - he's terrified (I remember that awful fear of everyone and everything). He did come with me to a meeting last night and asked me to call him today. I'll ask him again this morning if he is really done yet. Hopefully, he will take that first step. I'm grateful to be sober and able to help others. This disease is so devastating :cry:

When we use, we don't look so much to the good. Even in sobriety it's tough to find good. Sometimes it's as simple as a call to a friend or family. Little things.

Sometimes it’s hard to see the good in yourself.. I like to think I’m a good person.. I try to help others all the time.. one guy who I go to AA with hasn’t got a car.. I check on him everyday.. to make sure he doesn’t need anything.. I take him to pay bills and the store.. he lives close so it’s not out of my way.. but there’s one woman that is always calling needing something.. that seems to take advantage of my help.. I try to help her but she never has a kind word to say and always complains about something or someone.. it upsets me to be around her.. I try to tell her it does but she still does it.. I sometimes think that I’m not being a friend by avoiding her..
