Finding Gratitude: Daily Reflections with Kurt L. on Sobriety
Serenity isn't freedom from the storm, it is peace within the storm.
Ever wondered how gratitude can change your path to sobriety? In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', Kurt L. from Albuquerque, New Mexico, brings you a collection of daily quotes and reflections from cherished AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'Daily Reflections', and the Big Book. This episode is all about the power of gratitude and how it can help you navigate the ups and downs of recovery.
Kurt dives into various themes, but one of the standout messages is the importance of giving thanks, even in tough times. One reading highlights, 'Though I still find it difficult to accept today's pain and anxiety with any degree of serenity as those more advanced in the spiritual life seem able to do, I can give thanks for present pain'. This perspective can help shift your focus from what's missing in your life to what you have right now.
Another key point is the transformative power of AA. The fellowship offers a sense of belonging and support that can be a game-changer for anyone struggling with addiction. As one reading puts it, 'Anything is better than the way you were'. This episode underscores the role of AA in providing love, support, and a sense of community. Loneliness is another topic Kurt touches on, acknowledging that it's a common struggle for many in recovery.
'Almost without exception, alcoholics are tortured by loneliness,' one reading notes. The podcast offers hope and encouragement, reminding listeners that they're not alone and that AA provides a powerful antidote to loneliness. In essence, this episode serves as a daily dose of inspiration and reflection for anyone on their sobriety journey.
