Loosid Sober Tip of the Day Sep 04

Sober Tips

There is a saying, “For those amongst us no explanation is necessary. For those not amongst us no explanation is possible.”

We often get frustrated when friends or family members don’t understand why we do what we do.

The truth is, if they are not one of us, they cannot and will not be able to identify with what we are feeling.

This is the beauty of connecting with people who share your common bond.

Surround yourself who can identify with what you are going through. Though our experiences are different, the feelings of loneliness, isolation, and the need to get out of the now remain the same.

I truly understand that. I have family that don't understand my addiction problem. That's why I go to a.a. to surround with people that are going through what I am. It's a blessing actually.

This was one of my resentments = self justification, why couldn’t people understand what I was doing ? Wasn’t I doing good ? I joined AA , not knowing that everyone around me was the same . Now I’m surrounded my like minded people & that old resentment is gone . I am blessed

There's really nothing like the fellowship of AA/NA....the person's standing to the right or left, in front or behind know exactly what I'm going through. It's so amazing and powerful to be surrounded by warrior's, men and women fighting this battle together. Thank you for the tip. Blessings :pray:
