"Why don't you choose your own conception of God? That statement hit me hard."
Imagine standing in the sunlight after years of living in the shadow of your own thoughts. This episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, read by Kate P from Edinburgh, offers a refreshing take on finding a Higher Power. It's a gentle reminder that sometimes the hardest step is simply being willing to believe in something greater than yourself.
Through various recovery quotes, listeners are encouraged to explore the concept of a Higher Power, whether it's God or another source of strength. The episode touches on the importance of moral inventory and the realisation that our actions affect others. You might chuckle at the acronym 'Ego' – Edging God Out – a clever way to remind us that our self-centredness can be a stumbling block.
As Bill W shares, the idea of choosing your own conception of God can melt away icy intellectual barriers, opening up new possibilities for growth and healing. The episode also highlights the power of prayer, not just for avoiding drinks but for steering clear of rash decisions like getting married impulsively! By redoubling efforts to understand how our actions have hurt others, there's a path to forgiveness and self-worth.
The podcast offers a comforting sense of community, knowing others have walked similar paths and found solutions. If you're looking for a daily dose of inspiration and reflection, this podcast might just be your cup of tea. Dive into this journey and see where it takes you.
