The Power of Tolerance in Your Sobriety Journey
Tolerance, honesty with ourselves and others gets us sober, but it is tolerance that keeps us that way.
Ever thought about how tolerance plays a crucial role in your sobriety journey? This episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast' sheds light on this vital concept. The March 22 episode dives deep into how tolerance isn't just a virtue but a necessity for those striving to stay sober. It emphasizes that while honesty with oneself and others is what gets an addict sober, it's tolerance that keeps them that way.
This idea is backed by a rich collection of quotes from trusted AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', 'Daily Reflections', 'Big Book Quote', 'Just for Today', and 'As Bill Sees It'. The podcast underscores that realizing you can't do it alone is a pivotal moment in recovery. Once that realization hits, the support of a community becomes indispensable. This has been the cornerstone of Alcoholics Anonymous since its inception and remains so today.
The episode also touches on the spiritual foundation of all AA traditions, which is anonymity. Anonymity not only protects the society but also keeps members focused on principles rather than personalities. Moreover, the podcast highlights the urgency of self-concern in recovery. It stresses that one's recovery and spiritual growth must always come first. By focusing on these elements, the episode provides a powerful message on building tolerance in addiction recovery.
It's a reminder that together, people can achieve what they could never do alone. So, if you're looking for some daily inspiration and practical wisdom to help you on your sobriety journey, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and let the insights on tolerance guide you towards a more resilient and fulfilling recovery.
