Loosid Sober Tip of the Day September 20

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:

Very true

Recovery is not a one person way if you plan to remain sober yes that deamon in disguise is only 1 thought away.

Thank you Lord!

I will not rest on my laurels!

I am fresh in recovery and am so afraid I have been home during the first 3 weeks and don’t know what it will be like out there when I have to go back to day to day life. Stressors!

Perfect for me today especially!

I remember what it was like and I was like back when I drank.. I never want to go back to that life.. I know it would be easy because there’s times I still think about it.. on very stressful days.. but I go to a meeting instead..
