Loosid Sober Tip of the Day May 22

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:

Keeps me focused and humble. Keeps me from getting overly confident or cocky about recovery. I will remain grounded but humble!!

Last week I felt burned out on recovery, I talked to my sponsor about it. He said it happens but to keep pushing through. I quickly prayed to God for the wisdom and strength to continue my program. After a good nights rest those feelings left me. I went to a meeting on Friday and fellowshipping afterwards which is the way to get outside of myself. My program is solid but that dang loneliness feeling comes up out of no where at times and is powerful. However with the tools I have I can snap out pretty quickly… thank you God, AA and Loosid for being there for me.

You can only keep what you got by giving it away. Thank you for the message and you're right sometimes you lose sight of the important things.

I have almost 3 years clean.. and AA has helped me a lot but my will and the strength I have in God knowing that without Him it would be a lot harder.. here I was thinking that the first 4 steps is the most important.. turning it all over to God.. and trusting Him enough to bring you thru..
