Your job now is to be at the place where you may be of maximum helpfulness to others.
Ever wondered how being helpful can transform your recovery journey? In this episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, Cindy Al from Fort Worth, Texas brings you a collection of powerful quotes from AA resources like 'Twenty-Fours A Hours A Day', 'Daily Reflections', and 'As Bill Sees It'. Each reading revolves around the theme of helpfulness, offering you a roadmap to becoming more supportive and engaged in your recovery community.
One standout quote from AA's Big Book says, 'Your job now is to be at the place where you may be of maximum helpfulness to others. So never hesitate to go anywhere. If you can be helpful, you should not hesitate to visit the most sordid spot on earth on such an errand'. This highlights the importance of being there for others, no matter where they are on their journey.
The episode also touches on the significance of fairness and tolerance. A reading from 'Daily Reflections' reminds us, 'Being fair-minded and tolerant is a goal toward which I must work daily. I ask God, as I understand him, to help me to be loving and tolerant to my loved ones and to those with whom I am in close contact'. This serves as a gentle nudge to practice patience and understanding in our interactions.
Another poignant moment comes from 'As Bill Sees It', which warns against the dangers of false pride: 'The alarming thing about pride blindness is the ease with which it is justified. But we need not look far to see that self-justification is a universal destroyer of harmony and love'. This reading is a timely reminder to stay humble and avoid the pitfalls of self-justification. Cindy also emphasizes the value of active participation in AA.
One reading from 'Twenty-Fours A Hours A Day' challenges listeners with questions like, 'Am I still on a free ride in AA? Am I all get and no give?' It's a call to action for everyone to step up and contribute actively rather than just being passive participants. Lastly, the episode underscores the importance of daily service to God and others. A meditation for the day advises, 'Try to perform in the little things: faithful service to God and others.
Do your small part every day in a spirit of service to God'. This encourages listeners to integrate acts of service into their daily routines, making each day an opportunity for meaningful contribution. Tune in to this episode for an inspiring take on how helpfulness can play a pivotal role in your recovery journey.
Let Cindy Al guide you through these enlightening readings and discover how you can be more supportive, fair-minded, humble, and actively engaged in your path to sobriety.
