Fear, unreasonable fear that our instincts will not be satisfied drives us to covet the possession of others, to lust for sex and power, to become angry when our instinctive demands are threatened, to be envious when the ambitions of others seem to be realized while ours are not.
Ever feel like fear is holding you back on your sobriety journey? In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', Sarah M. from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, tackles the theme of fear and its impact on addiction and recovery. Drawing from trusted AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours A Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', and 'Daily Reflections', Sarah shares daily quotes that shine a light on how fear can manifest and how to overcome it.
Fear can be a sneaky adversary, often pushing us to envy others, crave power, or get angry when our needs aren't met.
One of the quotes Sarah reads hits this point home: 'Fear, unreasonable fear that our instincts will not be satisfied drives us to covet the possession of others, to lust for sex and power, to become angry when our instinctive demands are threatened, to be envious when the ambitions of others seem to be realized while ours are not'. It's a powerful reminder of how fear can derail our best intentions. But it's not all doom and gloom.
This episode also highlights the importance of simplicity in life. When we let life's complications overwhelm us, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Sarah discusses how choosing simplicity can help us navigate our recovery journey more smoothly. By focusing on simple pleasures and solutions, we can avoid getting bogged down by unnecessary difficulties. Transitions Daily doesn't just offer daily wisdom through quotes; it also provides a supportive community.
With a secret Facebook group for discussion, members can share their thoughts, experiences, and struggles in a safe space. This community aspect is invaluable for anyone looking to stay connected and supported on their path to sobriety. If fear is something you struggle with in your recovery, or if you're looking for daily inspiration and a sense of community, this episode of Transitions Daily is worth a listen.
Sarah M.’s reflections and the shared wisdom from AA literature might just be the boost you need to face your fears head-on.
