We are taught to differentiate between our wants, which are never satisfied, and our needs, which are always provided for.
Have you ever wondered why it’s so tough to tell the difference between what you want and what you need, especially on your path to sobriety? In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', Craig M. from Denny, Scotland, dives into this very challenge. Craig explains how our wants can be endless and never truly satisfying, while our needs are simpler and always met.
He stresses the importance of living in the moment, letting go of past regrets and future worries, and finding peace in accepting things we cannot change. Drawing wisdom from AA staples 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 insights on the dangers of rationalization and the power of meditation in maintaining sobriety.
He shares his personal experiences to highlight how alcoholics often rationalize their drinking and the importance of humility and anonymity in AA. Patience and finding goodness in the universe are also key themes Craig touches on, emphasizing that focusing on needs over wants can bring a deeper sense of fulfillment and peace.
Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this journey for a while, this episode offers valuable reflections and practical advice to help you navigate the complex terrain of wants and needs.
