Breaking Down Barriers: Embracing Spirituality in Recovery
Faced with alcoholic destruction, we soon became as open-minded on spiritual matters as we had tried to be on other questions.
Have you ever felt defensive when someone brings up spirituality? You're not alone. In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', Cindy L. sheds light on a common hurdle in the journey to sobriety—being touchy about spiritual matters. Drawing from 'A.A. Thought for the Day', Cindy shares a quote that highlights how many alcoholics initially react with hostility to spiritual discussions.
However, when faced with the harsh realities of addiction, many find themselves opening up to these concepts just as they would any other crucial life question. This episode underscores the importance of humility, self-respect, and gratitude in overcoming alcoholism. It’s a gentle reminder that sometimes, the very things we resist are the ones that can help us the most.
Alongside this poignant reading, the podcast offers a wealth of daily recovery resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours A Day', 'Daily Reflections', 'Big Book Quote', 'Just for Today', and 'As Bill Sees It'. For those looking to deepen their understanding and connect with others on the same path, there's also a secret Facebook group where listeners can discuss these themes further.
Tune in to this episode for a daily dose of inspiration and practical wisdom, and see how embracing spirituality can be a turning point in your recovery journey.
