In this episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, Craig M. from Denny, Scotland, shares powerful insights on the concept of choice within the journey of sobriety. Drawing from the Big Book and other AA resources, Craig discusses how many alcoholics lose the power of choice when it comes to drinking. He reflects on the importance of remembering the suffering caused by alcohol and how this memory can be a defence against taking that first drink again.
Craig also highlights the significance of Tradition 3 in AA, which states that the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. This tradition fosters a diverse and supportive community where members learn from each other, regardless of their backgrounds or beliefs.

This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the ongoing journey of recovery and the collective strength found within the AA community.
