Loosid Sober Tip of the Day September 3

Sober Tips
#1

Finding the good in YOU.

Yesterday, we looked at finding the good in others. Hopefully, that has given you some very strong relief and freed up quite a bit of wasted energy on anger and resentment.

As we have heard countless times, resentment is the #1 offender.

Quite often, the person we most resent most in life is ourselves.

Just for today, focus on the good in you.

Most of us have harmed many people in our active addiction and have a hard time forgiving ourselves for what we have done.

Just for today, focus on the actions you have taken now that you have entered a new journey.

What have you done to be of service to others? What have you done that started you on this spiritual path?

If you are still new or are in active addiction, just by reading this daily tip shows great willingness to change. That is GOOD. Very GOOD.

If nothing comes to mind, think of what good you can do today to help others. Think of what good you can do to learn more about the path to recovery.

If you are confused or don’t know where to start, post below any questions you may have.

If you have been around a bit, please share with the community the GOOD about you and what you have been able to do since entering recovery.

There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

Learning to forgive myself and not get caught in my head regretting my previous life’s choices is hard. My son loving, accepting and supporting me in my journey has done wonders for that and I am so blessed to have him. If My higher power and he can forgive me, who am I to hold a grudge! Some days I still hate on myself, but I find positive talk helps. I try not to call myself stupid or lazy or any negative things even in a joking manner. That has made a huge difference. And it comes in phases. Not hating yourself, then liking yourself and finally loving and forgiving (or at least it did for me!) Taken me 21 months, but by golly I’m making progress lol

Get a sponsor and work the steps. For a long time I sponsored myself and it was hard to do it alone. There is so much new in my life. I am not cured I wake up untreated every day but the tools I have now and the new people are my guidance. Learn to be accepting and happy.

I don’t resent myself. Definitely not proud of some of the poor choices I made while drinking. I can’t change the past. I can only do the right thing today! Have to let it go! Move forward not stay stuck in the past! God forgives me. Need to forgive myself!

This I had a hard time with, accepting myself. I had a sponsor that was willing to tell there so at least something I can come up with that has to do with me when doing my inventory which I had a hard time finding out sometimes depending on the situation/circumstances. This process is so important in our recovery because if we can’t forgive ourselves we can’t progress in our recovery.
