Loosid Sober Tip of the Day October 26

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:

Absolutely ask for help cause your old network don't want to help in the ways you want.
Go to meetings and slowly find your network there,do t puck the 1st few people make sure you can put full trust into them.

I finally admitted I can't solve my drinking problem alone so I prayed and made it to AA this week. The people there are so friendly and supportive!

I stay connected everyday. I speak with my Sponsor and I have friends I talk to on a regular day that are in recovery. They are my lifeline. I've had to learn to reach out for help and what a blessing it is.
