We are taught to differentiate between our wants, which are never satisfied, and our needs, which are always provided for.
Ever find yourself tangled in the web of wants versus needs on your sobriety journey? In this thought-provoking episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', Craig M. from Denny, Scotland, takes listeners on a reflective ride through this complex terrain. Drawing from beloved AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'A.A.
Thought for the Day', 'Daily Reflections', 'Big Book Quote', 'Just for Today', and 'As Bill Sees It', Craig offers a rich blend of wisdom and practical advice to help you stay grounded in the present moment. Craig emphasizes the importance of differentiating between wants, which can often feel insatiable, and needs, which are typically met. As he reads, 'We are taught to differentiate between our wants, which are never satisfied, and our needs, which are always provided for'.
This nugget of wisdom encourages listeners to focus on what truly matters in their recovery journey. The episode also delves into the role of spirituality in the AA program. Craig acknowledges that newcomers might find spiritual discussions challenging but reassures them that spirituality can be a vital support in their sobriety. He also touches on the importance of humility and self-effacement, crucial elements for anyone walking the path to recovery.
One of the standout moments in this episode is the discussion on living in the now. Craig reads from 'Daily Reflections', 'First, we try to live in the now just in order to stay sober, and it works once the idea has become a part of our thinking. We find that living in-hour segments is an effective and satisfying way to handle many other matters as well'.
This segment underscores the power of taking sobriety one day at a time and staying present. Listeners will find this episode both inspiring and practical, offering valuable insights to help them navigate their sobriety journey. Tune in for a daily dose of encouragement and reflection, and remember, it's all about taking it one day at a time.
