Loosid Sober Tip of the Day March 25

Sober Tips
#1

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:

You know a year ago I come into the program I was clean for 10 years yes I messed up for a year was doing meth ,cocaine and whatever it took and I can tell you now I have worked the program for a good solid year I do have two sponsors I do commitments I run meetings and yes sometimes I share more than I should LoL. But life truly has meaning today and I will do something with it and I know I have to be careful cuz I do work in restaurants I'm a chef trust me I cook with alcohol and I am very resilient to drinking I do not want it will not do it but I do practice my recovery and incorporate every tool that I've learned in AA it takes it to make it

I had to become willing to do what has been suggested of me. I've had to sit still and live in God's time, and I'm doing at least 1-2 meetings a day.
I am looking for a sponsor who will be a good fit, meaning she has time for me and has at least a few years sober, does service work, and knowledge of the 12 steps.
67 days- just 4 today!!
