Sorrow looks back, worry looks around and faith looks up.
Ever wondered how faith can play a role in your sobriety journey? Craig M., an alcoholic in recovery from Denny, Scotland, brings you a refreshing episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast'. This episode, dated January 2nd, dives into the theme of faith and its significance in maintaining sobriety. Craig shares various recovery quotes from trusted AA resources like 'Twenty-Fours A Hours A Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', 'Daily Reflections', and more.
Starting with an AA Thought for the Day, Craig discusses how faith transformed one speaker's life, illuminating their world with God's love despite ongoing challenges. He then moves on to a metaphor from 'As Bill Sees It', likening the practice of the AA program to building a house where sobriety forms the foundation and each room represents deeper aspects of recovery. A quote from 'Daily Reflections' serves as a gentle reminder that while sobriety is essential, it's just the beginning.
Building upon this foundation with continuous practice and spiritual growth is key. Craig also shares a 'Big Book Quote' emphasizing joy, play, and family as vital elements in recovery. Listeners will find a reading from 'Just for Today' particularly insightful, as it delves into the nature of alcoholism as both a physical allergy and a mental obsession. Craig highlights that while the allergy is beyond control, abstaining from the first drink is crucial to avoid triggering the body's reaction.
The episode wraps up with another AA Thought for the Day, focusing on what makes AA work: self-revulsion, helplessness, desire to change, surrender to a higher power, and regular meeting attendance for fellowship and sharing. Craig encourages listeners to help other alcoholics and stay grounded in the present rather than being weighed down by past or future worries. This episode offers daily inspiration and hope for those seeking to overcome alcoholism and addiction.
It's a gentle reminder of the importance of faith, community support, and continuous personal growth in your recovery journey.
