Loosid Sober Tip of the Day June 16

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 too happened to me. After 11+ years of sobriety I went back out and hit new lows of despair. It took years to get back into my earned seat. Just for today I will not leave my seat in the rooms of Recovery. My life is so enriched by the people I share spiritual and physics space with!

These words are great words of wisdom… and I relate immensely!!!

I’m 14 months in and I feel it, when I stray from my meetings and my gratitude list, meditation and exercise routines.
It is insanity to think that walking away from that would lead to anything but eventual chaos…and it would be walking away from a full and happy life.
