Before I could be honest with him or my sponsor or anyone else, I had to get honest with that joker in the glass.
Ever wondered why those hangovers - both physical and emotional - seem to linger longer than you'd like? In this episode of the Transitions Daily Alcohol Recovery Readings Podcast, you'll find a collection of wisdom to tackle these hangovers head-on. Kirsty S., hailing from the East Midlands, UK, guides you through recovery quotes and reflections that offer insights into managing the emotional baggage that often accompanies our past actions.
The episode explores how anger, fear, and jealousy can create an 'emotional hangover', affecting your ability to live well today. With references from AA's Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, you'll learn that 'easy does it' is about taking life one day at a time, not avoiding the work required for recovery. There's also a poignant reflection on honesty, as Dr.
Bob advises that before you can be truthful with others, you must first face the 'joker in the glass' - the person staring back at you in the mirror. These readings emphasise the importance of preparing to repair the damage caused by self-will, with guidance on making amends and nurturing a relationship with a higher power. Kirsty shares how recovery is not about having your family back but about strengthening your connection with God, however you choose to define Him.
The episode is a gentle reminder that no real alcoholic can regain control over drinking; instead, it’s about embracing a life abundant in spiritual richness. This episode is a treasure trove of reflections that encourage you to adopt virtues not out of necessity but because it's right. It challenges you to accept the gift of an abundant life, urging you to live well today and tomorrow.
So, why not take a moment to reflect on these thoughts and consider how they might help you or someone you know on their recovery journey?
