Skeletons in the Closet: Sobriety Wisdom with Craig M.
The programme of Alcoholics Anonymous involves continuous striving for improvement. There can be no long resting period. We must try to work it at all times. We must continually keep in mind that it is a programme not to be measured in years, because we never fully reach our goals, nor are we ever cured.
Ever feel like the past is haunting your journey to sobriety? Craig M. from Denny, Scotland, tackles this very challenge in this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast'. Craig shares a range of recovery quotes from trusted AA sources like 'Twenty-Fours A Hours A Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', and 'Daily Reflections'.
Each reading offers a nugget of wisdom on how to deal with the skeletons in your closet while striving for a better, sober life. In this episode, Craig dives into the idea that recovery is an ongoing process. There’s no finish line, only continuous growth and improvement. He emphasizes that staying sober isn't just about abstaining from alcohol but also about making positive changes in all areas of life. One powerful takeaway is the ripple effect of sobriety.
Craig shares his own experiences, showing how living a sober life positively impacts not just oneself but also those around them. Craig also discusses the importance of community in recovery. Sobriety isn't a solo journey; it’s a collective effort. Engaging with others who understand your struggles can make all the difference. He encourages listeners to join the secret Facebook group for deeper discussions and mutual support.
Another highlight is the focus on preparing for better things to come through faith and prayer. Craig reads a quote from the Hazelden Foundation, reminding us that life is all about preparing for something better. This perspective can be incredibly motivating, offering hope and a sense of purpose. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for a while, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
