We are surprised to find that we have few of the usual urges to defend ourselves against unpleasant truths.
Ever wondered how having a sponsor can make a difference in your sobriety journey? In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', Scott B. from Detroit, Michigan, brings the concept of sponsorship to life. Drawing from trusted AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', and 'Daily Reflections', Scott shares why a sponsor is essential in navigating the path to recovery.
Scott reads from 'As Bill Sees It', highlighting the humorous yet poignant analogy that “a recovering alcoholic without a sponsor is much like leaving Dracula in charge of the blood bank”. This episode doesn't just stop at sponsorship; it dives into the importance of helping others within the AA community. By sharing personal experiences, strength, and hope, members can stay sober one day at a time.
One listener’s story stands out: “I stayed sober day by day, through sharing my experience, strength, and hope with her, through putting action into the AA program, while at the same time waiting for her, not forcing my action on her. This was patience”. Faith and prayer also play a significant role in recovery, as discussed in this episode.
Scott reads a meditation that encourages looking beyond material things and having faith in a higher power to find peace and strength. The meditation states, “look by faith into the place beyond space or time where God dwells and whence you came and to which you shall eventually return. Look unto him and be saved”.
Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for a while, this episode offers valuable insights into the power of sponsorship, the importance of helping others, and the role of faith in recovery. Tune in to gain daily inspiration and guidance on your journey towards sobriety.
