Loosid Sober Tip of the Day November 24

Sober Tips
#1

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:

I can attest to this. 10 days ago I drank said some awful things came home blacked out and put a 3 inch gash in my head from falling. I realize now more than ever I just can’t drink. Having a hard time with it but have made 10 days without picking up. I wish I never have another craving again.

Excellent analogy. I’m going to imagine myself walking right outside, stepping on the back of my disease and smashing it to bits. That might be extreme, but it works for me.

Once you pick it up it's like you never put it down!
