Loosid Sober Tip of the Day November 4

Emptying our cup.

One of the most important parts of recovery is to empty our old thoughts before we start on our journey.

We cannot start clean and see a clear path if we have beliefs on what we are supposed to do, for it is what we were doing that got us into trouble in the first place.

If we want a clean and clear glass of water, we cannot come in with a dirty cup of water. If we empty most of our cup but still leave a little dirty war inside, we will still have dirty water.

Make sure you surround yourself with people who have clean cups of water.

How do you know they have clean water? Connect with people who speak with grace and dignity. Look for those who match calamity with serenity. It is never about how much sober time they have, for all of us only have 24 hours.

Connect with those who have what you want… ON THE INSIDE.

Just for today, choose to empty your cup completely to let fresh clean water to take its place.

All right. I'll go with this one. I often tell people that the first they'll need to do is dump the person they think they're getting sober for. You need to add to this that the people you surround yourself with respect boundaries.

I love this! I tried to get sober so many times but never wanted to “empty my cup” of the people, surroundings and behaviors of the life I was in while in active addiction! This time I am doing it for me, and starting with a fresh clean cup, and am 90 days sober today!
