Loosid Sober Tip of the Day May 21

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:

my last relapse lasted 3 years & was so much worse than any of the ones before it! im a chronic recoverer (or a chronic relapser, depending on how u look at it) so i have definitely noticed how much worse it can get! i almost died a few times!

I heard a man say that once, he said he was a chronic relapser and then rephrased it to speak life into himself instead.

My disease has no power over me today for I am covered with father Lord Jesus Christ blood!!

Ive felt worried these last couple days because I was afraid of losing my structure and discipline when I go to a new place. This app has helped and people have been reaching out to reinsure me that I'm not alone in this journey and to take it day by day. I'm only 90 days in but I'm feeling better and ready to take this thing head on.

Amen!

I need support to stay away from alcohol. I've been to a so called "treatment " center twice now due to being suicidal, and it was like being incarcerated. No counseling- nothing. I'm 70 years old and don't want to die drunk! Please share your thoughts and prayers :relaxed:

The first step is admitting you are powerless ... Go to a AA meeting near you. You will find the help you are looking for, if you are open to it...

I put a face to my addiction it easier to fight it my addiction if I know I’m fighting for my life.

Have you tried Na or Aa. I find meetings and a sponsor help me. I’m here if I can help you
