Strength comes from the fellowship you find when you come into AA. Just being with men and women who have found the way out gives you a feeling of security. - Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast
Feeling isolated on your journey to sobriety? You’re not alone. This episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, hosted by Kurt L. from Albuquerque, New Mexico, tackles the challenging topic of isolation in recovery. Drawing from trusted AA resources like 'Twenty-Fours A Hours A Day', 'Daily Reflections', and 'As Bill Sees It', Kurt offers a blend of wisdom and personal reflections that highlight the importance of fellowship and support in overcoming loneliness.
Kurt dives into how isolation can be a significant hurdle for those battling addiction. He shares poignant quotes and stories that resonate with anyone who has felt cut off from the world due to alcoholism. One memorable quote from the episode states, 'The less people tolerated us, the more we withdrew from society, from life itself.' This encapsulates the struggle many face, but also sets the stage for discussing solutions.
The episode emphasizes the power of community in AA, where strength is found in shared experiences and mutual support. Kurt reflects on how being with others who have walked a similar path can provide a sense of security and belonging. He also touches on the role of prayer and surrender in recovery, sharing a story of someone who asked, 'How do you pray?' and was guided to seek strength and courage through faith.
Total abstinence is another key theme, with Kurt underscoring that there can be no reservations or hidden hopes of one day being able to drink again. The message is clear: commitment to sobriety must be unwavering. The episode wraps up with a powerful reminder that daily reflection and dedication are crucial for lasting recovery.
As one quote poignantly puts it, 'Losers make promises, winners make commitments.'
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that while isolation can feel overwhelming, there is hope and strength to be found in the AA community. Tune in for a mix of practical advice, inspiring quotes, and a sense of camaraderie that might just be the boost you need on your path to recovery.
