keep coming back

Never stay away

To keep coming back is to return repeatedly, often despite obstacles or discouragement.

The phrase implies persistence or an inability to stay away: I keep coming back to this restaurant.

In recovery contexts, particularly twelve-step programs, it's an encouraging refrain to newcomers—keep attending meetings, keep trying: Keep coming back, it works if you work it.
