Loosid Sober Tip of the Day October 3

Hitting rock bottom.

Many people talk about having to reach rock bottom before coming into a spiritual program of recovery.

But how do we know we have reached rock bottom?

The answer is simply when we decide to stop digging.

It is not necessary that we lose everything. It is not necessary to lose our job, lose our families, or lose our home.

We do not even need to decide whether or not we have a problem.

All that is needed is a desire to stop drinking (or drugging).

We often come to the realization that we have a problem once we are able to identify with others and hear their problems.

It is at this point that we look further into a spiritual journey of recovery. Though our experiences are different, the feelings of isolation and the need to get out of the now are the same.

Bottom is when we give up and surrender. Sounds wrong, right? But it’s when we stop trying to have all the answers and seek help from God and others. When we stop trying to fix our broken mind with our broken mind. Consequences do not get us sober (they didn’t for me). I got sober when I was accountable to myself and God, because I couldn’t effectively lie to either anymore.
