In this episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, Buddy C from Atlanta, Georgia, dives into the theme of selfishness. Through a series of powerful quotes and reflections, Buddy explores how self-centered behaviour can be the root of many troubles for those struggling with alcoholism. He draws from various AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'Daily Reflections', and 'As Bill Sees It', offering a comprehensive look at how selfish actions often lead to negative consequences.
The episode emphasises the importance of shifting focus from oneself to others, as a means of achieving spiritual and mental well-being. Buddy shares stories that highlight the destructive nature of selfishness, including personal anecdotes and insights from AA literature. One particularly striking quote from the Big Book states, 'Our troubles, we think, are basically of our own making.
They arise out of ourselves, and the alcoholic is an extreme example of self-will-run riot.' This sets the tone for the episode, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own behaviours and consider how they might be contributing to their struggles. The episode also touches on the concept of resentment as a major obstacle in recovery. Buddy explains that holding onto past hurts can bar the 'sunlight from the soul', making it difficult to move forward.
By letting go of these resentments, individuals can find peace and clarity in their recovery journey. For anyone grappling with alcoholism or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. It's a compelling listen that encourages self-reflection and growth, making it a must-hear for those on the path to sobriety.
