Defiance and Surrender: Lessons from AA Readings
We must- and we do- surrender in order to win.
Feeling defiant on your journey to sobriety? You're not alone. In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', Kirsty Atts dives into the powerful themes of defiance and surrender. Drawing from trusted AA resources like 'Twenty-Fours A Hours A Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', and 'Daily Reflections', Kirsty explores how defiance often stands in the way of achieving lasting sobriety.
She explains that while defiance is a common trait among many struggling with alcoholism, it's the act of surrender that truly paves the way for recovery. Surrendering isn't easy—it's a painful process that involves letting go of remorse, regret, shame, and embarrassment. But through surrender, we find a new way of living that's not only different but better.
