Almost without exception, alcoholics are tortured by loneliness.
Ever felt like loneliness is your constant companion on the road to sobriety? You’re not alone. In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', host Cindy L. from Fort Worth, Texas, dives into the profound theme of loneliness that many in recovery face. Drawing from beloved AA resources like 'Twenty-Fours A Hours A Day', 'A.A.
Thought for the Day', and 'Just for Today', Cindy offers a comforting blend of quotes and reflections to help listeners find solace and connection. One poignant reading from 'A.A. Thought for the Day' highlights the pervasive loneliness among alcoholics: 'Almost without exception, alcoholics are tortured by loneliness...There was always that mysterious barrier we could neither surmount nor understand. That's one reason we loved alcohol too well, it did.' This episode doesn't just identify the problem; it also explores solutions.
Cindy emphasizes the importance of community, a higher power, and forgiveness as antidotes to isolation.
A reading from 'Just for Today' underscores the role of forgiveness in breaking free from loneliness: 'The moment we ponder a twisted or broken relationship with another person, our emotions go on the defensive to escape...This is especially true if he has in fact behaved badly at all.' By focusing on our own role in relationships and making amends, we can move beyond resentments that keep us isolated.
Other readings touch on the rewards of living sober and the benefits of trusting a higher power. Cindy wraps up by reminding listeners they are not alone and invites them to join the Transitions Daily online recovery group for daily readings and discussions. She encourages everyone to reflect on their journey and trust that everything will work out for the best in the end. Tune in to find hope and encouragement in your recovery journey.
