Facing Fear: Sobriety Insights from Transitions Daily Podcast
Fear somehow touched about every aspect of our lives. It was an evil and corroding thread. The fabric of our existence was shot through with it.
Ever felt that fear is holding you back on your sobriety journey? You’re not alone. In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', host Scott B. dives into the challenging yet crucial theme of fear in recovery. Drawing from a treasure trove of AA literature like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'A.A.
Thought for the Day', and 'As Bill Sees It', Scott explores how fear can be an 'evil and corroding thread' that weaves through every aspect of our lives. But don’t worry, this episode isn’t just about identifying the problem—it’s about finding solutions too. Scott shares daily readings that offer valuable insights and practical advice on overcoming fear, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to sobriety. One standout moment in the episode is the discussion on forgiveness.
Scott likens forgiveness to two currents in the same river, both blocked by the dam of resentment. By working through the steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, you can learn to identify and release these resentments, allowing forgiveness to flow freely and bring peace and healing. Another key takeaway is the importance of taking action. As highlighted in a quote from the 'Big Book', deciding to get sober is just the first step.
To achieve lasting freedom, you must be willing to do the hard work of personal housecleaning and address the root causes of your addiction. This episode serves as a powerful reminder that while fear may be a part of the recovery process, it doesn’t have to control your journey. With daily readings and actionable advice, Scott B. offers a roadmap to overcoming fear and finding true freedom in sobriety.
