Every day I feel a little more useful, more happy and more free. Life, including some ups and downs, is a lot of fun. I am part of AA, which is a way of life.
Ever thought sobriety could be fun? In this episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, Craig M. from Denny, Scotland, explores how joy and happiness can be integral parts of a sober life. Drawing from beloved AA literature like 'Twenty-Four Hours A Day' and 'Daily Reflections', Craig shares uplifting quotes that underscore the importance of finding joy in everyday moments.
One memorable quote he highlights is, 'Every day I feel a little more useful, more happy and more free. Life, including some ups and downs, is a lot of fun. I am part of AA, which is a way of life.' This sentiment encapsulates the episode's core message: sobriety isn't just about abstaining from alcohol; it's about embracing life fully and joyfully. Craig also touches on the value of open-mindedness and spiritual growth in recovery.
He reads a poignant passage from Alcoholics Anonymous: 'We have found that God does not make too hard terms with those who seek Him. To us, the realm of the spirit is broad, roomy, all-inclusive, never exclusive or forbidden to those who earnestly seek.' This encourages listeners to stay open to new experiences and perspectives as they progress on their recovery journey. Service to others is another key theme Craig delves into.
He shares a powerful quote: 'But even faith is not the whole story. There must be service. We must give this thing away if we want to keep it.' This highlights how giving back can provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment, reinforcing the idea that helping others is a cornerstone of maintaining sobriety. Lastly, Craig emphasizes the importance of seeking spiritual connection early in recovery.
He reads, 'Seek God clearly in the day before He gets crowded out by life's problems, difficulties or pleasures.' This advice serves as a reminder to prioritize spiritual growth and mindfulness to navigate life's challenges more effectively. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on making sobriety a joyful journey, this episode is a must-listen. Craig's compassionate and insightful readings offer a refreshing perspective on living an alcohol-free life.
