For me, it starts with acceptance of the fact that I am an alcoholic.
Imagine being caught in a relentless tug-of-war between two terrifying thoughts: 'If I don't get a drink, I'm going to die' and 'If I continue drinking, it's going to kill me'. This is the harrowing reality Michael L. shares in this episode of the Daily Reflection Podcast. Drawing from his personal battle with alcoholism, Michael reads from the Daily Reflection book and reflects on the concept of total acceptance as a cornerstone of his recovery journey.
He paints a vivid picture of hitting rock bottom and the paradoxical clarity it brought him. This moment of absolute acceptance—recognizing himself as an alcoholic without any reservations—became the foundation for his sobriety. Michael emphasizes that this acceptance isn't just about admitting a problem; it's about embracing life as it is, finding peace in the present, and building a relationship with something greater than oneself.
His story is both raw and inspiring, offering hope to anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in to hear Michael's powerful narrative and gain insight into how total acceptance can be a transformative force in recovery.
