Loosid Sober Tip of the Day January 28

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:

Struggling with this exact concept needed to hear this ...I string together some time and then I go back out and it's just awful. Trying my hardest to make it stick this time.

Ive been extremely single fpr a very long time. I think constantly. What if i just went out or had a fling but i just stay to myslef. Truth is i dont know how to date sober and a fling is just not what i want or is important to me.

My disease reminds me on a daily basis that is waiting on me if I make one bad decision. So I'm watchful of my behavior and watchful of how I treat other people and watchful of my thoughts, I asked God everyday, just for the day keep the desire to use away from me and make better choices.
