At the beginning, we sacrificed alcohol. We had to, or it would have us killed. But we couldn't get rid of alcohol unless we made other sacrifices. Big shortism and phony thinking had to go. We had to toss self-justification, self-pity, and anger right out the window.
Ever thought about what you might need to give up to achieve sobriety? In this episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, the focus is on the sacrifices essential for a successful journey towards sobriety. The episode kicks off with a poignant reading from 'A.A. Thoughts for the Day', shedding light on the early sacrifices necessary to break free from addiction.
This includes letting go of harmful habits like self-justification, anger, and the relentless pursuit of personal prestige and wealth. The host emphasizes that these sacrifices are crucial for developing the humility and self-respect needed to sustain sobriety. The conversation then shifts to personal responsibility. Listeners are reminded that sobriety is not a destination but an ongoing journey. Taking ownership of one's actions and quitting the blame game are highlighted as vital steps in this process.
The episode also touches on the importance of building genuine partnerships in sobriety, urging listeners to meditate and pray to become trustworthy friends and companions. The impact of faith and works is another key theme. The host underscores that faith without action is ineffective, drawing from AA's profound influence in liberating individuals from the clutches of alcoholism.
The episode wraps up with a prayer from the Hazel Green Foundation, encouraging listeners to build their lives on a solid foundation of faith. This episode offers a blend of practical advice and spiritual guidance, making it a valuable listen for anyone committed to overcoming addiction. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for a while, the insights shared here can provide both inspiration and direction.
