Loosid Sober Tip of the Day September 25

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:

The sky is the limit when I surrendered and stop drinking and drugging.

In treatment I started exercising 3 days a week. Something I hadn’t done in years. Running became my passion when I returned home.
I ran my first marathon 26.2 miles at 4 years sober. A second at 5 years.

I joined a wonderful church and became a member of a fabulous choir. I sang soprano for 10 years and my spiritual life skyrocketed.
I had the opportunity to go to NYC and sang onstage with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. What a joyful experience.
Visited an episode of GMA while in New York and cooked with Wolfgang Puck.
I have hiked and enjoyed mountain biking from the trails of Michigan to Sedona.

Went to Founder’s Day in Akron last year for the first time. What a wonderful spiritual experience it was.

I encourage everyone to set your goals high. Pray for God’s will in your life. Trust God. Clean House Help Others.
It’s a beautiful life out there just waiting for you.
