Finding Earnestness in Sobriety: April 10th Recovery Readings
Episode Overview
Earnestness is crucial in the journey to sobriety. Faith must be an integral part of daily life. Personal growth requires a willingness to change. Practising A.A. principles can lead to a more fulfilling life. Laughter can be a powerful tool in recovery.
Faith has to work 24 hours a day in and through us, or we perish.
In this episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, Buddy C from Atlanta, Georgia, brings you a collection of recovery quotes and reflections for April 10th. The theme of earnestness runs through the readings, highlighting the importance of sincerity and dedication in the journey to sobriety.

Each quote offers a unique perspective on the challenges and rewards of living a sober life. Buddy C shares a poignant quote from Alcoholics Anonymous, page 16: 'An alcoholic in his cups is an unlovely creature. Our struggles with them are variously strenuous, comic, and tragic. One poor chap committed suicide in my home. He could not or would not see our way of life. There is, however, a vast amount of fun about it all.
I suppose some would be shocked at our seeming worldliness and levity, but just underneath there is a deadly earnestness. Faith has to work 24 hours a day in and through us, or we perish.' This quote encapsulates the serious yet hopeful nature of recovery. The episode also features reflections on personal growth and the willingness to change. From the 'Daily Reflections', we learn that true growth comes from a readiness to improve and take on new responsibilities.
Buddy C emphasises that practising the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous can lead to a more fulfilling and exciting life.
