Some say that experience is the best teacher, but I believe that experience is the only teacher. I have been able to learn of God's love for me only by the experience of my dependence on that love.
Ever feel like you're alone in your struggles with sobriety? You're definitely not. In this episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, Sarah M. from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, brings you a daily dose of wisdom and encouragement. This episode shines a light on the role of experience and adversity in recovery. Sarah kicks things off with a poignant quote from 'A.A. Thought for the Day', reminding us that willpower and self-knowledge alone often aren't enough to conquer addiction.
She shares a powerful message: 'I knew from that moment that I had an alcoholic mind. I saw that willpower and self-knowledge would not help. In those strange mental blank spots, I had never been able to understand people who said that a problem had them hopelessly defeated. I knew then it was a crushing blow.' This captures the hopelessness many feel when battling addiction, emphasizing the need for something more than just willpower.
Sarah then dives into 'As Bill Sees It', highlighting how our setbacks can be our greatest teachers. 'Our spiritual and emotional growth in AA does not depend so deeply upon success as it does upon our failures and setbacks,' she reads. This thought-provoking insight encourages us to view our failures as opportunities for growth rather than just obstacles. Moving on to 'Daily Reflections', Sarah discusses the growth of AA groups over the years, underscoring the importance of community in recovery.
'In the beginning of Alcoholics Anonymous, there were only two persons. Now there are many groups and thousands of members. True, the surface has only been scratched. There are probably a million or more persons in America alone who need our help. More and more people are making a start in AA each day.' This serves as a reminder that you're not alone and that the AA community is ever-growing and ready to support you.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been sober for years, this episode offers a wealth of wisdom to help you stay on track. Tune in for daily inspiration and guidance on your journey to sobriety.
