Self-Will and Sobriety: Insights from Cindy L.
The first requirement is that we be convinced that any life run on self-will can hardly be a success on that basis.
What happens when self-will takes the driver's seat in your life? In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', Cindy L. from Fort Worth, Texas, takes listeners on a journey through the complexities of self-will and its impact on sobriety. Drawing from beloved AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours A Day' and 'Daily Reflections', Cindy explores how our own stubbornness can hinder our path to recovery.
She dives into the concept of temporary conditions and how alcohol distorts our thinking, making us believe we are in control when we're not. Cindy also tackles the fear that often accompanies sobriety and offers practical advice on facing those fears head-on. Additionally, she sheds light on the 'fine art of alibis'—the excuses we make to justify our drinking—and emphasizes the importance of letting go of control to truly embrace sobriety.
This episode is not just informative but also deeply encouraging, providing a sense of hope and practical tools for anyone struggling with alcohol addiction. With daily emails and a secret Facebook group for deeper discussions, 'Transitions Daily' offers a supportive community to help you on your journey to sobriety. Whether you're new to recovery or looking for ongoing support, this episode is a must-listen.
