Finding Joy in Sobriety: Daily Wisdom from Transitions Daily
I feel myself a useful member of the human race. At last I have something to contribute to humanity, since I am peculiarly qualified, as a fellow sufferer, to give aid and comfort to those who have stumbled and fallen over this business of meeting life.
Have you ever wondered how happiness fits into your journey towards sobriety? This episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast offers a treasure trove of daily recovery quotes to inspire and uplift you.
