The steps protect me from myself. The traditions protect AA from me.
Ever wonder how AA's steps and traditions can support your sobriety? This episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast' hosted by Sarah M. from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, might just have the answers you're looking for. Each day, Sarah shares readings from well-loved recovery resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', and 'Daily Reflections'. These snippets offer a mix of wisdom and encouragement to keep you grounded and motivated on your journey.
One standout theme in this episode is the role of AA's steps and traditions. The steps are spiritual principles designed to help you let go of the obsession with alcohol, while the traditions ensure the fellowship remains strong and united. As Sarah notes, 'The steps protect me from myself. The traditions protect AA from me'. It's a simple yet powerful way to understand how these principles work hand-in-hand to support individual and collective recovery.
Another fascinating topic Sarah touches on is the history of the Grapevine, AA's beloved publication. Did you know it faced a unique challenge early on when it turned out the FBI had a news sheet with the same name? Despite this hiccup, the Grapevine flourished and became a vital part of AA's communication network. This episode also highlights the importance of community in recovery.
Sarah shares her initial skepticism about AA members, whom she first saw as 'very nice people, perhaps a little naive, a little too friendly'. Over time, these 'they' became 'we', underscoring how shared experiences and mutual support are crucial in recovery. If you're looking for daily inspiration, a sense of belonging, and practical insights into staying sober, this episode of Transitions Daily is a must-listen.
Tune in for a dose of hope and wisdom to help you navigate your path to recovery.
