We had to see that when we harboured grudges and planned revenge, we were really hitting ourselves with the club of anger we had intended to use on others
Grudges can be a heavy burden, especially for those on the path to sobriety. In this episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, Kurt L. from Albuquerque, New Mexico, shares profound insights on how holding onto grudges can sabotage your journey to recovery.
Drawing from various AA resources like 'Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions' and 'As Bill Sees It', the episode offers a deep dive into the negative impact of anger and resentment on mental health and sobriety. Kurt reads from multiple AA texts, emphasising the importance of letting go of anger to find peace. You'll hear about how harbouring grudges is akin to hitting yourself with the same club you intended for others.
The episode also touches on the significance of autonomy within AA groups, stressing that each group should have the freedom to make its own decisions while adhering to AA's core principles. A standout moment is when Kurt recounts a story from 'A.A. Comes of Age', where two prospectors in Alaska find an AA book in an ice block, leading one of them to sobriety. This anecdote beautifully illustrates how unexpected moments can become turning points in one's recovery journey.
The episode is filled with practical advice and reflections that can resonate with anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Whether you're new to AA or a long-time member, this episode offers valuable perspectives on managing emotions and maintaining sobriety. If you're looking for inspiration and practical wisdom to aid your recovery, this episode is a must-listen. It reminds us that true freedom comes from letting go of anger and embracing a higher power.
