We had to toss self-justification, self-pity and anger right out the window.
Imagine sacrificing not just alcohol but also the very things you thought defined you. That's the heart of this episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast. Craig M from Denny, Scotland, takes you through the June 12 readings, focusing on the sacrifices necessary for sobriety. The episode starts with a powerful reflection on the early days of recovery, where giving up alcohol was just the beginning.
To truly stay sober, one had to let go of self-justification, self-pity, and even legitimate pride. It's about trading in your ego for humility and self-respect, a tough but essential swap for anyone serious about recovery. The episode pulls from a variety of sources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day,' 'Daily Reflections,' and 'As Bill Sees It.' Each quote and reflection provides a unique angle on the sacrifices and changes needed to maintain sobriety.
One particularly moving segment is Bill W.'s recounting of writing the 12 steps, a task he undertook despite feeling anything but spiritual at the time. His struggle and eventual clarity serve as a reminder that even the founders of AA faced their own battles. Craig also touches on forming true partnerships, a topic many find challenging. Sobriety isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about learning to build meaningful relationships without the crutch of addiction.
The episode encourages you to meditate and pray for guidance in becoming a trusted friend and companion. By the end of the episode, you'll find yourself reflecting on your own sacrifices and what you might need to let go of to achieve lasting sobriety. It's a thought-provoking journey that balances tough love with compassionate support. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for years, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
Why not take a moment today to consider what sacrifices you might need to make for a better tomorrow? Tune in to hear more about the journey of sobriety and the steps you can take to stay on course.
