But we know this and therefore I feel confident that in the conduct of our public affairs we shall always find the grace to exert an effective restraint.
Ever felt like your old habits are just waiting for a chance to resurface? In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', Sarah M. from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, dives into the crucial role of restraint in both public and personal life. Drawing from trusted AA sources like 'Twenty-Four Hours A Day' and 'Daily Reflections', Sarah explores how maintaining a calm and non-aggressive demeanor is essential for the harmony and effectiveness of AA.
The episode acknowledges the struggle, especially since many of us were prone to anger and rebellion during our drinking days. Yet, it reassures us that sobriety brings the grace to exercise restraint, even when old patterns threaten to return. But that's not all. The readings also tackle the theme of fear, a common trigger for many in recovery. Fear often activates our defects, leading to discomfort and distress.
Sarah encourages listeners to identify fear as the root cause when feeling uneasy or depressed. Another poignant reading shares a story about the transformative power of prayer and belief in a higher power. It tells of an individual who, in a moment of desperation, prayed in a filthy bathroom and walked out knowing they never had to drink again. Making amends is another vital topic covered.
The readings advise approaching those we've wronged with sincerity and goodwill, rather than announcing newfound religious zeal. This approach helps avoid being seen as a fanatic and fosters genuine reconciliation. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone on the path to sobriety. Whether you're grappling with old habits or seeking ways to strengthen your recovery, Sarah's insights offer practical advice and emotional support.
Tune in to discover how restraint, fear management, prayer, and making amends can enrich your journey towards a sober life.
