The difference between good and evil is not the difference between spiritual and instinctual man. It is the difference between proper and improper use of instinctual. Recognition and right channeling of the instinctual are the essence of achieving wholeness.
Ever wondered how your instincts play a role in your sobriety journey? In this episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, Craig dives into the intriguing world of instincts and their impact on recovery. Craig, an alcoholic and the host of Transitions Daily, brings you a selection of daily readings from trusted AA sources like 'Twenty-Four Hours A Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', and 'Daily Reflections'.
He challenges the common belief that instincts are inherently bad, emphasizing that it's not about good versus evil but about using our instincts properly. Starting with the 'A.A. Thought for the Day', Craig explores the idea that recognizing and channeling our instincts correctly is key to achieving wholeness. He discusses Bill W's insights on the sixth step, a crucial stage where one must be ready to let go of their defects of character.
This step is about preparing for true change and moving forward in the recovery process. Craig also shares a reading called 'The Labours of AA and the Many', which highlights the collective efforts of AA members in building a spiritual community. He draws a vivid picture of a cathedral, symbolizing the spirit of service and unity within AA. The spire of this cathedral points towards God, representing the ultimate goal of spiritual growth.
In another segment, Craig talks about the importance of moulding our lives by transforming selfish desires into positive actions. He uses the metaphor of clay being shaped into something meaningful, urging listeners to recognize their selfish motives and turn them into spiritual strengths. The episode wraps up with a heartfelt prayer for guidance in shaping one's life. Craig reflects on his own recovery journey, sharing how these readings have helped him become a better person.
He invites listeners to join the Transitions Daily online recovery group for more daily inspiration and support. If you're looking for daily doses of wisdom and encouragement on your path to sobriety, this episode offers valuable insights and a sense of community. Tune in and discover how to harness your instincts for a better life.
