Loosid Sober Tip of the Day Sep 07

Sober Tips

Expectations are future resentments in disguise.

We often spend our lives upset about people who have wronged us.

As we go through our recovery journey, you may realize that your moral compass is different than others.

Do not have expectations.

If someone does not act in a way that is in line with the principles you live your life, know that has nothing to do with you.

Pray for them as they are sick and suffering and need help.

No matter what, do not let this affect your serenity. At the end of the day, it is their garbage to pick up not yours.

Help them the best you can and if they are not willing to receive your help, move on and help someone who has the willingness to change.

That's what I have to work on is having resentments towards people that wronged me. I'm 46 days sober. Still got to do more A.A. meetings and find a sponsor.

I have a particular resentment that still affects my life even after 6 months sober and working the steps. I do pray about it but have yet to find relief. It may have to do with the fact I haven't forgiven myself for my past

Letting go of my resentments have brought me so much peace. I know I’m not fully there and I still have some work to do but what I have accomplished has really allowed me to live life from a better place. Everyone is at a different place in life and it would be hypocritical for me to sit up and hold a grunge when I know I’ve done stuff to hurt people too. If I want grace I have to give it.

Keep going! Be patient with yourself, and get a big journal so you can be ready to write when you meet your sponsor! She should have you write all the people you have a resentment towards and then its a worksheet that goes with it to help you pick why they wronged you or what it affected in your life.
