Sorrow looks back, worry looks around and faith looks up.
Ever feel like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', Craig from Denny, Scotland, shares a heartfelt collection of recovery quotes from trusted AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'Daily Reflections', and 'As Bill Sees It'. Craig dives deep into the theme of faith and its transformative power in the journey to sobriety.
He recalls his own moment of surrender, when he was driven to his knees by alcohol and found the strength to ask for the gift of faith. This faith, he explains, illuminated his life with hope and love, shifting his focus from despair to positivity. One standout quote he shares is, 'Sorrow looks back, worry looks around and faith looks up', encapsulating the essence of finding strength in faith. But it's not just about faith.
Craig also draws parallels between practising the AA programme and building a house. He likens the foundation of sobriety to a concrete slab, upon which the rooms of a fulfilling life are built through regular practice and commitment. He emphasizes that stopping drinking is merely the first step; the real transformation happens as you continue to build and furnish your 'house' with meetings, fellowship, and helping others.
The episode also touches on the crucial role of a higher power in recovery. Craig shares his personal experience of surrendering his struggles to God, which opened up a new world of consciousness and relief from depression. He highlights that putting oneself in God's hands can lead to benefits far beyond what one could have planned. Living in the present moment is another key theme Craig discusses.
He encourages listeners to let go of past burdens and embrace the blessings of each new day, reminding us that we can only carry the weight of the present hours. The episode wraps up with information about the Hazel Dean Foundation, a non-profit supporting those affected by addiction, and an invitation to join the Transitions Daily community via email and their secret Facebook group for daily discussions.
This episode offers a comforting blend of personal stories, practical advice, and spiritual guidance for anyone on the path to recovery.
