Loosid Sober Tip of the Day Aug 04

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:

This is so true. I had been sober for years and going to meetings and working the steps but then I stopped going to the meetings and although I didn't relapse my mind and my defects sure did. I went back to the ways I thought 20 years ago before I got sober and now I'm going back to the meeting and realized I should have never stopped going to meetings. Meetings are where my people and my family are. You all know me better than any of my blood family and you care for me like I am yours and I will always come to meetings and help others to recover from addiction.
