Selfishness, self-centeredness- that, we think, is the root of our troubles, driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking and self-pity.
Ever wondered how selfishness ties into addiction? This episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, hosted by Dennis, dives deep into this connection. Drawing from a wealth of AA literature like the Big Book, A.A. Thought for the Day, and Daily Reflections, Dennis unpacks how selfish behaviors can fuel addiction and hinder recovery. Dennis explains that selfishness is often driven by fear, self-delusion, and self-pity.
These traits can trap individuals in a cycle of addiction, making it hard to break free. But there’s hope. By shifting focus away from oneself and embracing a spiritual approach to life, recovery becomes more attainable. Resentment is another critical issue Dennis addresses. He calls it the number one offender, capable of destroying more alcoholics than anything else. Letting go of resentments is essential for anyone seeking sobriety, as holding onto them can sap one’s strength and block progress.
The episode also highlights the importance of balance. Keeping spiritual matters at the core of one’s life can act as a powerful restorative force. Dennis shares how this spiritual mode of living can positively impact not just the individual but also those around them. For anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
It’s a reminder that sobriety is possible through spiritual growth, letting go of negative emotions, and finding balance in life.
