Embracing Surrender: Insights from AA Recovery Readings
Such is the paradox of AA: regeneration strength arising out of complete defeat and weakness.
How does surrendering actually lead to strength? That's the paradox Kirsty S. unpacks in this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast'. Broadcasting from the East Midlands in the UK, Kirsty brings a fresh perspective to the theme of surrender through daily readings from trusted AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', and 'As Bill Sees It'. One poignant quote from 'A.A.
Thought for the Day' states, 'Regeneration strength arising out of complete defeat and weakness. The loss of one's old life is a condition for finding a new one.' This idea of gaining strength through surrender is further explored with reflections on group autonomy and the power of spiritual principles. Kirsty highlights how these principles help in problem-solving and developing a new life grounded in AA's teachings.
If you're grappling with the concept of surrender or seeking daily motivation on your sobriety journey, this episode offers a wealth of wisdom and practical insights.
