Loosid Sober Tip of the Day March 18

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:

That’s true!

Daily vigilance!

I make sure I stay in meetings because I will need them for the rest of my life. I stay close to my sponsor. When something is weighing me down I must speak up. That being said, I have been sober four years and my daughter wants to move back home. I never lost her in court. I let her go to her dad. Is my past going to keep me from getting her back from the court? She is absolutely depressed and feels like she wants to die but is too scared to actually do anything to hurt herself. Her dad is not great. There is drinking, smoking pot legally, and prescribed anxiety meds. He has had a blackout and been pretty terrible to her. I need advice like I need air.

Love this! Good reminder!!!! I feel like I should put this in my calendar so I see it every few weeks or so just to remind myself

Hi I’m early in recovery I decided to do it myself this time.I say this time because the court made me stop drinking and get meeting in.Since then I’ve bin drinking every day.Now I’ve stopped because my stomach is so big I couldn’t even tie my shoes . I don’t know if that’s a good reason for quitting but I am starting to feel better !

Only bin 3 days but 25 years drinking everyday

Thanks
