Loosid Sober Tip of the Day November 15

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:

The program says we have to give away to keep it and that requires us to stay involved.

There are so many more ways to be of service today! Zoom meetings are always available for the times we can’t get to a brick and mortar meeting. I have a new schedule and I won’t be able to attend my homegroup anymore. I am blessed with a multitude of meetings in my area everyday of the week. Just gonna find a new home :pray:t2::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::pray:t2:

:call_me_hand:t4: always love the reality check. Long timers always say newcomers are what keep them going, for me it’s the old timers that keep me sober by constantly reminding me of this exact same thing.

I've said this before I tried twice only out of necessity and feeling terrible but once you feel better it's like oh well time to have a beer and I can't beat that it's really pissing me off because I beat everything else in my life as far as addiction goes I smoke cigarettes and some weed but all the job people seem to like me I don't drink at work but if I don't drink at home I don't know what else I'm going to do.
