I'm grateful for the things I do have, but man, I'm really grateful for things I don't have. I'm really grateful for the degree of humility that all of this, you know, has come from all of this.
Ever felt stuck in a cycle you couldn't break? Derek A. from Philadelphia knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of the Daily Reflection Podcast, Derek opens up about his relentless struggle with addiction and the countless promises he made to himself about quitting—promises he knew he couldn't keep. But today, Derek's life is a testament to the power of active recovery.
He talks about how he shifted from a passive existence to one filled with purpose and gratitude. Derek reflects on his time before joining Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), when he often reacted to life’s challenges without much thought. He describes how AA taught him to seek daily guidance from a higher power, helping him make thoughtful decisions rather than impulsive reactions. This shift has been transformative, allowing him to take control of his life and share his experiences with fellow alcoholics.
One of the most compelling parts of Derek's story is his emphasis on humility and gratitude. He explains how these virtues have become cornerstones of his recovery, helping him navigate conflicts and avoid the pitfalls of shame. Derek’s journey is not just about sobriety; it’s about finding freedom and meaning in every day. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on taking control of your recovery journey, Derek’s story is a must-listen.
Tune in to hear how active recovery has changed his life and how it can change yours too.
