I was fighting a losing battle with the bottle. I gave up and through defeat I won. Second, to change myself, because the world isn't going to change to suit poor little old me.
Ever wondered what it truly means to surrender in your journey to sobriety? In this episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, host Kurt L from Albuquerque, New Mexico, shares daily quotes that revolve around the powerful theme of surrender. Drawing from well-loved AA resources like 'Twenty-Fours A Hours A Day' and 'Daily Reflections', Kurt takes listeners through the profound process of admitting defeat and embracing change to overcome alcoholism.
The episode kicks off with a quote that underscores the necessity of complete surrender, emphasizing that admitting defeat is the first step towards a sober life. Kurt discusses how letting go of the notion that the world should change to fit us, and instead focusing on changing ourselves, can lead to lasting sobriety. This isn't just about giving up; it's about gaining control over your life by accepting things as they are and making the conscious decision to live differently.
But it's not all about personal change. Kurt also highlights the importance of fellowship and service in the recovery process. He speaks on how attending AA meetings can provide a sense of community and relief from daily worries, and how being of service to others can bring a deeper sense of fulfillment. These elements of AA are crucial for anyone looking to maintain their sobriety and find a purpose beyond their struggles.
Kurt doesn't shy away from discussing the tough times either. He shares his own heart-wrenching experiences of losing loved ones and how his AA community supported him through those dark days. His message is clear: even in the face of immense hardship, turning to alcohol isn't the answer. Instead, leaning on the program, being of service, and keeping a spiritual connection can help you navigate through pain without falling back into old habits.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that surrendering isn't about giving up; it's about finding a new way to live. If you're looking for inspiration, practical advice, or just a sense of connection on your path to sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
