My first true freedom is the freedom not to have to take a drink today. If I truly want it, I will work the Twelve Steps and the happiness of this freedom will come to me through the Steps – sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.
Ever wondered what it feels like to truly be yourself without the crutch of alcohol? Alan S. from Philadelphia knows this feeling well, having celebrated 19 years of continuous sobriety. In this episode of the Daily Reflection Podcast, Alan shares his thoughts on the daily reflection titled 'Freedom to Be Me'. He opens up about how his journey through the Twelve Steps has brought him a new kind of freedom and happiness he never thought possible.
Alan talks about how alcohol and drugs once seemed like solutions to his problems but ended up being the biggest problem of all. By working the first step, he began to see a way out of that destructive cycle. Through a relationship with something greater than himself, Alan found a new story of hope and freedom. He emphasizes the importance of spiritual growth, fellowship, and social support in maintaining his sobriety.
Alan's story is a testament to how substituting old behaviors with new, positive ones and reaching out to others in the program can lead to a fulfilling life free from anxiety and fear. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone seeking freedom and happiness in their journey to sobriety.
