Sick and tired of being sick and tired

From Brasil, so blessed to be sober, I have 3 commitments, I go to 7+ meetings a week, I'm a recovery :nerd_face: geek.

How did being sick and tired change your life?

Hi, James. Welcome to Loosid. We're glad you are here.

You're a recovery geek?!? Now, I have a hard question for you. What advice would you give someone who's been in recovery for 5+ years? Many relapse after being sober 5, 10, or even 20 years.

What my sponsor tells me often and what I know from experience is that we have only a 24 hour reprieve. We must keep it simple. How many meetings are you going to?, do you have a sponsor?, have you gone through the steps? Are you practicing the principles?, are you calling someone when you're triggered or in HALT? We are an undisciplined bunch by getting a routine, knowing what meeting you're going to as you get out of one, getting commitments, getting into action all these will help. But most of all you must be ready and willing.
