That ache is gone and never need return again. Now there is a sense of belonging, of being wanted and needed and loved.
Ever feel like you’re walking the path of sobriety all alone? Kirsty S. from The East Midlands in the UK is here to remind you that you're part of a bigger, supportive community. In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', Kirsty dives into the essential theme of belonging. Drawing from trusted AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'A.A.
Thought for the Day', and 'Daily Reflections', she explores how a sense of belonging can transform your recovery journey. Belonging isn't just a nice-to-have; it's a fundamental human need, especially for those grappling with alcoholism. The feeling of being wanted, needed, and loved can be a game-changer. Kirsty highlights how AA meetings offer a unique community where members share their struggles and victories, creating a safe space for everyone involved.
This sense of community can help erase the loneliness that often accompanies addiction. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Kirsty also touches on the dangers of resentment, described as the number one offender in sobriety. Holding onto grudges can lead to relapse, so it's crucial to avoid controversy and embrace forgiveness. As the readings suggest, punishment never heals; only love does. Faith plays a significant role too.
Trusting in a power greater than ourselves can provide the strength needed to stay sober. For many, this power is God, but it can be any higher power that resonates with you. Surrendering to this power can unlock the full benefits of the AA program. Lastly, Kirsty emphasizes the rewards of helping others. Intensive work with fellow alcoholics not only helps them but also reinforces your own sobriety.
It's through assisting others that many find a renewed sense of purpose and meaning in life. So, if you’re looking for more than just abstinence from alcohol, this episode is a must-listen. It’s about finding your tribe, embracing community support, and discovering a deeper purpose in your journey to sobriety.
