Daily Inspirations for Sobriety: February 14 with Sarah M.
We found that as soon as we were able to lay aside prejudice and express even a willingness to believe in a power greater than ourselves, we commenced to get results, even though it was impossible for any of us to fully define or comprehend that power, which is god.
Ever feel like you need a daily boost to keep you on the path to sobriety? Sarah M. from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, brings just that in this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast'. She shares a variety of recovery quotes from well-loved AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'Daily Reflections', and 'Just for Today'. The episode highlights themes of spirituality, managing expectations, and the value of companionship on your recovery journey.
One memorable quote emphasizes the importance of spirituality: 'We found that as soon as we were able to lay aside prejudice and express even a willingness to believe in a power greater than ourselves, we commenced to get results, even though it was impossible for any of us to fully define or comprehend that power, which is god'. This underscores how opening up to spirituality can lead to positive changes.
Another poignant quote tackles the tricky issue of expectations: 'Dealing with expectations is a frequent topic at meetings. It isn't wrong to expect progress of myself, good things from life or a decent treatment from others. Where I get into trouble is when my expectations become demands'. This nugget from 'Daily Reflections' serves as a gentle reminder to keep our expectations in check to avoid unnecessary stress.
Sarah also touches on the importance of continual learning and education in the field of alcoholism, pulling wisdom from 'As Bill Sees It'. Beyond the podcast, Transitions Daily offers a supportive community through a secret Facebook group where listeners can discuss these daily readings and share their experiences. Whether you're new to sobriety or looking for daily encouragement, this episode provides valuable insights and support to help you stay on track.
