Just for today, I choose not to drink
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. The episode also delves into the role of faith in maintaining sobriety. Craig talks about how a round-the-clock faith in a higher power can be a cornerstone for a sober life.
He shares personal anecdotes about feeling God's presence in his daily activities and how this spiritual connection helps him stay grounded. Additionally, Craig touches on the idea of 'Big Shotism', reminding listeners to remain humble and vigilant even when experiencing success in sobriety. This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the ongoing journey of recovery and the collective strength found within the AA community.
Tune in for a blend of wisdom, faith, and practical advice that can inspire anyone on their path to sobriety.
