Loosid Sober Tip of the Day May 03

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:

Yes sir

I needed to read this post

I can relate to that a lot. My willingness is usually directly related to how desperate things are and how much hot water I'm in... I'm trying to keep that level of effort when things are good

Absolutely needed to read this today. I thought I was "cured" from alcohol and drugs, going on 9 yrs this September. Let go of the work, let go of the service, and other, more subtle addictions snuck in and took the place of alcohol/drugs. Still struggling with letting go of old ideas, and stinking thinking.
