Loosid Sober Tip of the Day September 2

There is a stigma that when you get sober, life, as we know it, will be the end of fun.

This stigma could not be further from the truth. In fact, it is quite the opposite.

When we put down the drink or drug and decide to live life on life’s terms, the world opens up for us.

One of the first things we realize is how much of life was wasted on our time drinking or putting substances in our body. Just a few hours a day for happy hour during the week, turns into 40 extra hours a month of quality time.

That could be taking time to learn a new skill, spending more time with your family, working out, meditating, volunteering to help those in need, the list is endless.

Take a few moments to reflect on how many hours were spent each week on drinking or putting substances in your body. If you are just starting out, get excited, as you are about to enter a world of more time to build incredible experiences.

If you have been sober a while, let us know what you have done since you stopped wasting these precious hours days and years that make up this thing we have called life.

How did this tip resonate with you? 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:

Now since I quit drinking I'm working a lot. I do feel bored and isolated. When I was drinking I was more social. I just been trying to find things to do that I like. I really don't have any friends. It lonely. I know drinking is not an option cause I will for sure die. I just need to figure out what to do so, I don't go back to drinking.

Wow what a true statement since I have gotten clean I have put a lot of time and energy in making my life better. I've gotten my CDL license and now work for Melton trucking lines driving over the road, now I get paid for something I love to do that would have never happened during my using days. Now looking back I want to kick myself for wasting so much time but it was all God's plan to make me the person I am today.
