Loosid Sober Tip of the Day Sep 29

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:

Wow this really hits. I watched a guy I barely know, go out this weekend. We went out to dinner and an arcade.

I told him I wasn't drinking and he said he said he is trying "moderate drinking" but he's had some time before. I said okay do what's right for you but I absolutely cannot drink and by the grace of God I didn't have the desire, even a little.

Of course, His drinking wasn't moderate and I found out he was kicked out of his house the next day out on a bender. I offered to take him to meeting and urged him to call his old sponsor but he's gone dark. A sad reality hit, I pray he finds his way.

This helps me think about how impulsive I can get an keeping that impulse to use in check. It can get exhausting @ times yet it is detrimental to my survival. I sometimes want instant gratification an that's just not rational. Easy does it but do it does it for me.
