As a newcomer, learning that prayer and using it throughout my day, sometimes just repetitively, to quiet the obsession of my mind that was clamoring for a drink or a fix, or whatever it was, was about all I had until I could get to the next meeting or or call somebody in the program, talk to my sponsor or find another way to get some relief.
How does spirituality fit into the journey of sobriety? This episode of 'Keep It Simple - Daily Reading' with Aron C. dives into the often debated role of prayer in addiction recovery. For many, the idea of turning to a higher power can be a tough pill to swallow. Yet, for others, it’s a cornerstone of their sobriety and peace of mind.
Aron starts by reading the AA Preamble and introducing the Daily Quote Book from AA Grapevine, setting the stage for a heartfelt discussion on prayer and its impact on recovery. The day's reading, titled 'The Gift of Prayer', explores how prayer can fortify our inner selves and help us battle our toughest adversary: ourselves. Aron acknowledges that for newcomers to AA, prayer can seem daunting or even off-putting.
However, he shares his own story of how prayer became a lifeline during his early recovery days, offering moments of peace amidst the chaos of addiction. Beyond personal reflection, Aron also highlights the power of community and support in recovery. He suggests that prayer can serve as a bridge to connect with others who are also struggling, fostering a sense of shared strength and understanding.
Listeners are invited to share their own experiences with prayer and sobriety, creating a collective space for healing and growth. Aron wraps up the episode with a gentle reminder that recovery is a personal journey with no one-size-fits-all approach. By exploring the gift of prayer and building connections with others, we can all find hope and healing on the path to sobriety.
