Loosid Sober Tip of the Day March 16

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:

What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition. What this means to me is that I stay sober today on today's work. I can't rest on my laurels and try to stay sober on yesterday's readings and meetings. My sponsor was sure to remind me that no matter how long I'm sober that drinking is always an option for me. I'll tell you this it is a whole lot easier to stay sober than to get sober.

I am always so grateful for so many people so many things to be grateful for even on days like today lot of sadness today loss is always hard it’s feelings sadness but I know that trying to have a healthy life a positive life you keep going through sad feelings really listening to people and there recovery helps In so many ways I find so much strength here thank you for today and I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend
