Loosid Sober Tip of the Day October 24

Sober Tips
#1

Yesterday we discussed how it feels to be sober. Today we look at what it takes to get sober.

Moving from being sober to getting sober requires us to start working a spiritual program.

We have removed the ‘spirits’ and need to replace it with spirituality.

In 12 step Groups, this consists of Unity (meetings and fellowship), Service (to others), and working the 12 steps.

Whatever the spiritual program, you need to enter it swiftly. If we sit in the seat of sobriety and not embark on a spiritual program, we will stay in pain.

There are people who stay ‘being sober’ without a spiritual program for decades and, while they are officially sober, they have not worked a spiritual program and because of this, have not had the opportunity to remove the blockages required to set them free. We often refer to these people as dry.

If you have questions on what to do, ask in the comment section below. The Loosid community is here to help you.

If you have been sober for a while and are working a spiritual program, help the newcomers by sharing your experience below.

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

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

There are many paths to sobriety and this post isn't respectful to that.

I'm with Chris Knox. Knock it off with the twelve step worship. There are other ways and love that your higher power saved you but some of us had to find another path and self rescue.

I believe I only got clean through the love and strength of God. I absolutely did not do this on my own. While I have done a 12 step program in the past, and I am certainly not against the 12 steps....I am looking for a way other than AA meetings. I went to NA meetings for quite a while, but found that people came back week after week saying the same thing. I found that frustrating for me. I am looking for some kind of meetings that are more productive in the personal growth area. Maybe some kind of meetings with levels of growth...beginners who need to hash things out, then step over to next level when you have accomplished a "personal best" for your life.

My sobriety is a life/death situation. I’m not here to debate about 12 steps as a posed to other methods of a recovery program. What is important here is to share whatever works for to individual.
