Loosid Sober Tip of the Day October 17

Sober Tips
#1

Alcoholism and addiction are diseases of isolation.

Yesterday we discussed the importance of building a sober network of 5 people you can connect with each day to provide you with the support you need throughout your recovery journey.

Getting help from others who are working a spiritual program of recovery and building this support system around you is a non-negotiable.

Sadly, far too many of us never ask for help and for that reason, never build a sober network.

We expect to GET but do not dare ASK… and if we don’t ask, we will never receive.

This is because of EGO… a three-letter word that kills alcoholics and addicts by the million.

We have discussed the horrors of the EGO before, but most of us have a built-in forgetter.

Just for today, remind yourself that EVERY person who is now (emotionally) sober had to lower their ego and ask for help.

How did this tip resonate with you? Do you need help?

If you practice a spiritual program of recovery, are you willing to give help?

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 have trouble with this as I moved from Duluth to cities in Minneapolis and don’t know very many people down here so it has been hard but all of the people I knew in Duluth were using friends or people that were negative so it makes it easier being here or at least I don’t have to see people where are used people for support because when you only know if people that are bad for you and your lonely, you’ll inevitably call the people that are bad for you or if you see somebody that you knew most the time you’ll talk yourself into going with them or getting their number because you know why not you’re lonely whereas here at least I only surround myself with sober people or people from work and it’s getting easier. I will have five years on the 19th in two days so if anybody needs any help please let me know I am here especially if you’re in the Minneapolis, Twin Cities area, Minnesota.
