It is the highest form of self-respect to admit mistakes and to make amends for them.
Ever feel like your ego is getting in the way of your recovery? In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', Craig M. from Denny, Scotland, tackles the tricky subject of egomania. Drawing from the 'AA Thought for the Day', Craig dives into how an inflated ego can create two major pitfalls: dominating others or relying on them too much.
This episode isn’t just about identifying the problem; it’s about finding solutions through humility and being a friend among friends. The discussion also covers how handling fear constructively requires both courage and grace. Craig highlights that true, lasting sobriety often comes from a spiritual awakening that removes the desire to drink.
