Loosid Sober Tip of the Day June 7

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.

Not only is the Disease is deadly but also remember when they say Jails institutions and death ,it don't have to be in that order.
Stay bless fight back spiritually.
When life punch you in the mouth punch back
Recovery lives matters

Ya, that's strong.

Wow!

Thank you....

This is accurate!

The fact that it waits for you and it's usually stronger.

I've been AF for almost 11 years except for two months in 2017. Those were hard months.

I've mostly done it alone and felt the urge coming back and decided to find community.

AA is not an option (for reasons that have little to do with AA) but I'm doing women for sobriety. It's helping.

But Spirituality. I haven't figured out how I fit with that.

Always love that pushup line! Recently found out 1st hand it sucked but back on the wagon

I love this message,, one of the biggest tools I’ve acquired from my program is that I don’t do this alone…….. I reach out, I stay connected, I stay in the middle…. Helps me stay happy,joyous, and free!!! What a gift :pray:

Love it so true. :call_me_hand:

Very very strong message and hits with me on so many different levels. Thanks for sharing this tip
