Courage is not the absence of fear, but the action in spite of the fear
Fear can be a powerful force, often driving us to make choices we wouldn't otherwise consider. In this episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, Kurt L from Albuquerque, New Mexico, shares a series of poignant recovery quotes that tackle the concept of fear and its impact on our lives. The readings include selections from 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', 'Daily Reflections', 'Big Book Quote', and 'As Bill Sees It'.
These quotes highlight how unreasonable fear can lead us to covet, lust, and envy, ultimately undermining our attempts to build a stable life. A notable quote from Bill W. in '12 Steps in 12 Traditions' reminds us that courage isn't the absence of fear but taking action despite it. Through a touching personal story, Kurt recounts how admitting his struggles with alcohol led him to find a supportive community in AA.
This episode is not just about recognising fear but also about finding the courage to confront it and seek help. Whether you're struggling with alcoholism yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement to face your fears head-on. Tune in to hear heartfelt reflections and practical advice that can help you on your journey to sobriety.
