Tackling the Juggernaut: Insights on Surrender and Recovery with Sarah M.
If we cannot or will not achieve sobriety, then we have become truly lost right in the here and now. Therefore, our own recovery and spiritual growth have to come first.
Ever feel like you're battling a juggernaut in your journey to sobriety? Sarah M. from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, hosts this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', and it's all about confronting that overwhelming force of self-will. With quotes and reflections from beloved AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', and 'Daily Reflections', Sarah delves into the struggle many face when their ego tries to steer the ship.
The episode, titled 'Juggernaut', highlights how surrendering to a higher power and seeking support can be pivotal steps toward recovery and spiritual growth. It's not just about giving up control; it's about finding a new way to live that brings real peace and pleasure. The episode also explores the idea of the 'selfish program' of AA, which might sound counterintuitive at first.
However, Sarah explains that focusing on your own recovery isn't about being self-centered; it's about ensuring you're in a place where you can genuinely rebuild relationships and find serenity. One powerful takeaway from this episode is the importance of prioritizing your recovery above all else. As one quote puts it, 'If we cannot or will not achieve sobriety, then we have become truly lost right in the here and now'.
This isn't about neglecting others but recognizing that your sobriety is the foundation for a meaningful life. Whether you're new to sobriety or looking for fresh insights on your journey, this episode offers a blend of wisdom and practical advice to help you stay on track. Tune in to find hope, guidance, and a community that understands what you're going through.
