In this episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, Sarah M. from Pittsburgh takes us through a series of thought-provoking recovery quotes and reflections for July 24th. The theme for today centres around 'Self-will' and its impact on personal recovery journeys. You'll hear insights from the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book, Daily Reflections, and other trusted sources, all aimed at providing support and encouragement for those on the path to sobriety.
Sarah begins by discussing how living a life driven by self-will often leads to conflict and dissatisfaction, even when our intentions are good. She uses a powerful metaphor from the Big Book, comparing self-will to an actor trying to control every aspect of a play, only to find that life rarely goes as planned. This idea is further explored with quotes and reflections that emphasise the importance of surrendering self-will and embracing a higher power.
The episode also touches on the historical significance of AA's Service Conference, recounting a pivotal moment when the fellowship took control of its own destiny. This serves as a reminder of the collective strength and unity that AA members share. Daily reflections highlight the importance of helping others as a means to overcome self-centredness. Sarah shares personal anecdotes about how self-pity and resentment can be transformed through acts of service, leading to peace and serenity.
The episode wraps up with a quote from 'As Bill Sees It' on the dangers of self-deception and the importance of honesty in all aspects of life. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice for anyone committed to sobriety. Whether you're new to AA or a long-time member, Sarah's readings offer a blend of wisdom and encouragement that can help you stay on track.
