We saw escape with all the desperation of drowning men. What seemed at first a flimsy reed has proved to be the loving and powerful hand of God
Ever wondered how a seemingly flimsy reed can become a lifeline? In this episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, Cindy L. from Fort Worth, Texas, shares some powerful recovery readings that explore this very idea. The episode starts with a thought-provoking quote from Alcoholics Anonymous: 'We saw escape with all the desperation of drowning men.
What seemed at first a flimsy reed has proved to be the loving and powerful hand of God.' This sets the tone for an episode filled with reflections on the journey to sobriety and the strength found in unexpected places. Cindy reads from various resources, including 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', and 'Daily Reflections'.
Each reading offers a unique perspective on recovery, touching on themes like the importance of spiritual guidance, the dangers of complacency, and the power of community support. One particularly poignant story comes from a 'chronic slipper' who struggled with maintaining sobriety despite being active in A.A. This individual's tale serves as a cautionary reminder that recovery requires constant effort and vigilance.
The episode also includes a reflection on the importance of humility and seeking advice from others, especially in spiritual matters. It's a reminder that even those with high spiritual development consult their friends or advisors to avoid self-delusion. The episode wraps up with a meditation and prayer for the day, focusing on seeking strength and guidance from a higher power.
Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this journey for years, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement to stay committed to your recovery path. Tune in to find out how you can turn your own flimsy reed into a powerful hand of support.
