We give away to keep. That seems absurd and untrue. But in order to keep whatever it is we get in aa, we must go about giving it away to others for no fees or rewards of any kind.
Ever thought about how giving away something could actually help you keep it? This episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast' dives into this intriguing paradox. Kirsty S from The East Midlands in the UK reads the daily recovery quotes, shedding light on a fundamental AA principle: to maintain the gifts received in AA, you must share them freely with others, without expecting anything in return.
It's a concept that might seem counterintuitive, especially for newcomers, but it's a cornerstone of the AA fellowship. The readings highlight that if individuals can't afford to give away what they've gained in AA, they might be setting themselves up for their next relapse. This idea isn't just inspiring; it's a crucial reminder of the importance of altruism in recovery.
Alongside this paradox, the episode touches on other significant themes like the power of the Serenity Prayer and the necessity of unity within AA. The readings encourage acceptance of life's realities to achieve serenity and taking action to build courage. They also stress the importance of acknowledging and apologizing for harm done to oneself and others, finding a spiritual basis for life, and recognizing a higher power's role in recovery.
By tuning into this episode, listeners will gain valuable insights and encouragement on their sobriety journey. Whether you're new to AA or reaffirming your commitment to sobriety, this podcast offers both guidance and a sense of community.
