Loosid Sober Tip of the Day April 12

Don’t let the gifts of recovery take you out of recovery.

When entering recovery, if we have the willingness to do whatever it takes to get sober, we find ourselves ‘on fire’ with the program. This simply means we are reaping the rewards of working the program. Often, it’s because when we enter recovery, we had the gift of desperation.

As time passes, we start to build a beautiful life. Unfortunately, for many, life seems to get a bit too full to keep working the program. We cut back on meetings, we cut back on service, we stop reaching out to others and before you know it, we relapse and have no idea why.

Everything you have built has been a result of the spiritual program you have now pulled away from.

Always remember that the same things you had to do in your first days of recovery are the same things you need to do throughout your recovery.

If you feel you have fell victim to this, the great news is you can change right here. Right now.

How did this tip resonate with you? What are the most important things you have done that got you sober that you do every day to stay sober? There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

It’s so crazy how true this is. We must stay connected to our recovery and the things that help us stay clean and sober.

So true

Hearing desperation described as a gift is exactly what I needed to hear. Being grateful for the desperation.

Being positive helps me out in so many ways. Also helping people distracts me from relapsing. Then finding my favorite hobbies.

Thanks that was very helpful

. No

Wry true….it’s easy to forget what got ya there….for men, it all starts with a meeting…..have a good starting point…..whatever works for your program….but have a plan…..take care….

So many typos….very true and for me……sorry….

This is EXACTLY what's going on with me right now. I'm 6 months in and finished iop and just became complacent for no reason with a touch of depression. Idk why I have no motivation now like I did only a month ago. At least I have the incredible gift of resetting my mind set and try again!
