Loosid Sober Tip of the Day February 16

Sober Tips
#1

Don’t let the gifts of recovery take you ot 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 resonated with me because I have gotten so busy in life lately with working going to school, raising my daughter that my recovery has kind of taken a back seat. I have not been going to as many meetings and reaching out to others in the program

After 24yrs of trying to get and keep this program, the above post explains me perfectly. Now at just over 5 yrs I finally get it. I must continue my journey for the rest of my life and NEVER stray too far from the fellowship and this life saving program. With the help of a 24/7 online platform which I am an active service worker I have never missed a single meeting and now have amazing friends all over the world :earth_americas: God is so Good to me

Great Sober Tip for me! I have definitely lost some of the enthusiasm I had in early recovery. It was such a joy to finally be staying sober and now it's a normal part of my life. I tend not to view it the same as I used to. Thanks for the comments. I just attended an AA conference, which was great fellowship. I know that getting more active in the recovery community and making a greater commitment to working with newcomers will help bring back some of that early enthusiasm and fun that I had living sober :pray:
