Loosid Sober Tip of the Day August 25

Our disease is waiting outside for us in the parking lot doing pushups.

This phrase is heard quite often when working a spiritual program of recovery to remind ourselves what is waiting for us should we ever choose to go back to our previous way of life.

We know this because, sadly, many people go out on a regular basis, and we have clear evidence what happens for those who actually make it back.

We have seen countless people come back completely shocked that their disease was as bad as it ever was and even more realize that it was infinitely worse.

Why? Because it was doing pushups waiting for us.

Here is then great news… you NEVER need to find out.

There are tens of millions of us in recovery here to walk with you on this journey together.

The journey is beautiful when we do it together. It is quite treacherous when we try it alone.

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:

I have heard this phrase many times throughout the years of trying to get sober. Now with 10 months and 20 days of sobriety, I get it. I hope and pray that none of us have to head back out for a relapse.

Love this day 10 of sobriety

Thank you for the valuable sobering message this morning :pray:

This is so true to the point of daily thoughts of all the other places it waits for us

Damn did I need to be reminded of this.
My addiction isn't sleeping, so my recovery can't get lazy now.

Thanks for the message
