Loosid Sober Tip of the Day October 10

Much like we can’t win today’s game on yesterday’s home run, we can’t stay sober today on yesterday’s sobriety.

During our active addiction, so many of us spent every day repeating the same rituals on a daily basis. It became such a ritual that we didn’t even realize the negative effects that were taking place as a result of our actions.

In recovery, we need to incorporate the same daily practice in order to stay emotionally sober.

For many of us, prayer and meditation has been a non-negotiable that we have learned to practice every morning when we arise.

Many of us do the same throughout the day and before we retire at night.

Some other activities that can set our day right are reading from spiritual texts.

For those in a 12-Step program, we may read 12-Step literature each morning.

We may also attend a meeting of likeminded others on a daily basis.

We may also reach out to people within our support network each day.

If you have not incorporated a daily practice into your recovery, there is no time like the present.

If you don’t know how or where to start, know you are not alone. Ask our community below for suggestions.

How did this tip resonate with you? If you already have a daily practice, share with the community below what you do on a daily basis. There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

Rent is due everyday. When we lose track of our daily sober living the old thoughts and behaviors of our active addiction begin to creep back pushing us back toward the abyss.

Good timing Loosid, good timing. I use to set alarms with messages to myself at random times saying things like "You got this!" "Smile you little B your worth it!". Today will start doing that again after meditation and writing down what I'm grateful for and my goals .

This came at the exact time I needed it. I have been traveling and have a hectic schedule. I get so wrapped up in the distractions that I forget to take care of myself and sobriety comes in second. Thanks for this crucial reminder. Blessings

Routine is key!
