Acceptance in Sobriety: Daily Wisdom from Transitions Daily
Our very first problem is to accept our present circumstances as they are, ourselves as we are and the people about us as they are.
Struggling to accept your current situation or the people around you? This episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast' might be just what you need. Hosted by Sarah M. from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, this episode centers on the theme of acceptance, drawing wisdom from various AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours A Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', and 'Daily Reflections'. Sarah reads from 'A.A.
Thought for the Day': 'Our very first problem is to accept our present circumstances as they are, ourselves as we are and the people about us as they are.' This powerful message reminds us that true progress in recovery starts with accepting reality as it is, without trying to change it. But acceptance isn't the only focus. The episode also delves into the importance of trusting a higher power.
With quotes from 'As Bill Sees It', listeners are encouraged to believe in a creator who has a purpose and destiny for each of us. This belief can help us overcome doubts and fears, guiding us toward a more meaningful life. Community is another cornerstone of this episode. Sarah highlights how even those who feel isolated can find connection and support within the AA community.
The Big Book quote she shares tells us, 'Surrounded by so many AA friends, the so-called loners tell us they no longer feel alone.' This sense of belonging can be a lifeline for anyone feeling adrift in their sobriety journey. Whether you're new to recovery or have been sober for years, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement. It's a daily reminder that acceptance, faith, and community are crucial elements in the path to sobriety.
Tune in and let Sarah's words inspire you to embrace your journey with open arms.
