As long as we placed self-reliance first, a genuine reliance upon a Higher Power was out of the question. That basic ingredient of all humility, a desire to seek and do God's will, was missing.
Imagine thinking humility was just a means to an end. That’s where Jim Meyer from Leesburg, VA found himself when he first walked into an A.A. meeting. In this heartfelt episode of the Daily Reflection Podcast, Jim shares his eye-opening journey titled 'Humility is a Gift'. Jim recounts how his initial quest for humility was driven by the hope of getting what he wanted, believing that pleasing God would somehow reward him.
But as he dove deeper into the Twelve Steps and leaned on a Higher Power, his understanding of humility transformed. He realized it wasn’t about self-deprecation or bargaining for blessings, but about genuinely seeking and doing God's will. Jim’s story isn’t just about the struggle with addiction; it’s a tale of desperation, surrender, and the surprising gifts that come with true humility.
He talks about how he learned to see the people he encounters daily as reflections of God, and how this perspective shift helped him find peace and purpose. The episode also touches on the impact of the pandemic on recovery and underscores the importance of staying connected to others in the program. Through Jim's narrative, listeners are reminded that addiction is a progressive disease, but recovery is within reach with the right support and mindset.
If you’re looking for a dose of inspiration and practical wisdom on your recovery journey, Jim’s story offers a compelling example of how humility can be a powerful tool for transformation.
