The Bedrock of Sobriety: Embracing Honesty with Shane R.
I don't believe this program would work for me if I didn't get honest with myself about everything.
What role does honesty play in your journey to sobriety? In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', Shane R. from Vacaville, California, delves into this critical aspect of recovery. Shane shares a series of thought-provoking quotes from trusted AA sources like 'Twenty-Four Hours A Day', 'Daily Reflections', and 'As Bill Sees It', all centered around the theme of honesty.
He explains how honesty is not just a principle but the very foundation upon which the entire AA program is built. Without it, acknowledging personal flaws and taking responsibility becomes nearly impossible. Shane's insights highlight how honesty fosters humility, making it easier to seek help and guidance from a higher power. The episode also touches on the pitfalls of escapism, showing how avoiding reality through alcohol leads to a destructive cycle.
Instead, Shane promotes meditation and focusing on spiritual growth as healthier alternatives. This podcast episode is a must-listen for anyone on the path to sobriety, offering practical wisdom and heartfelt encouragement to embrace honesty in all aspects of life.
