Guarding Sobriety: Insights from Transitions Daily
The alcoholic at certain times has no effective mental defence against the first drink, except in a few rarer cases. Neither he nor any other human being can provide such a defence. His defence must come from a higher power.
Ever wondered how to shield yourself from the lure of that first drink? This episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast' offers some profound insights. Hosted by Craig M. from Denny, Scotland, the January 11th episode dives into the concept of defense in sobriety.
Through a selection of recovery quotes from trusted AA literature like 'Twenty-Four Hours A Day' and 'As Bill Sees It', Craig explores why an alcoholic often has no effective mental defense against the first drink and how this defense must come from a higher power. The episode emphasizes the importance of accepting the AA program, engaging in self-reflection, and the transformative power of helping others.
Craig also discusses the vital role of prayer and seeking divine guidance for strength and awareness. These themes aren't just abstract ideas; they're practical tools that can make a real difference in your recovery journey. Transitions Daily is more than just a podcast. It's a supportive community offering daily doses of inspiration and encouragement. Beyond the audio, there's a secret Facebook group where listeners can discuss daily topics and deepen their understanding of sobriety.
If you're looking for a blend of wisdom, support, and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen. It could be the key to strengthening your resolve and finding lasting sobriety.
