'God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts'
The Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast offers a daily dose of inspiration and reflection for those on the journey to sobriety. In this episode, Kate P from Edinburgh reads the August 15th recovery readings, focusing on the theme of 'Defiance'. The episode opens with a powerful observation about defiance being a common trait among alcoholics, which often obstructs their path to recovery. Through quotes from 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'A.A.
Thought for the Day', and other AA resources, the episode sheds light on how belief and reliance on a higher power can help overcome this defiance. One striking quote reminds us that 'God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts', emphasising the importance of genuine faith over mere ritual.
