Loosid Sober Tip of the Day Jul 26

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:

This is so true. I have been sober for years but I stopped going to meetings and it got so lonely and depressing trying to do this alone. I never had to fight this alone and I'm never going to. I need my sober people around me to help fill my spiritual cup so I can help others. United we stand divided we fall. Together we can do anything. Alone is miserable

Don't try to do it alone!

:+1:Yes, this absolutely true.

I just got off a zoom meeting with my AA sponsor and I feel a little more connected to life and my program than yesterday because I was feeling extremely lonely

Relapse is not part of recovery! By the grace of God, I never went out to that parking lot!
I realize that some try to test the waters again. Some make it back, but, unfortunately others die! I've been around a bunch of 24hrs and seen what happens if "WE" don't stay in the day! :pray:t2:
