Episode Overview

- Making amends helps resolve emotional harm.
- The Serenity Prayer offers guidance through challenges.

We give away to keep - That seems absurd and untrue.
Kate P from Edinburgh takes listeners on a reflective journey through the daily readings of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering insights that are both challenging and uplifting. This episode centres around the paradox of giving to receive, a concept that may seem puzzling at first but is fundamental to the AA philosophy. By sharing freely what we've gained in recovery, we not only help others but also reinforce our own sobriety.
Kate's reading emphasises the importance of self-reflection and making amends, highlighting how emotional harm can linger even when the initial offence seems minor. Through thoughtful consideration, AA encourages members to address these issues head-on, leading to personal peace and growth. In addition to these deep reflections, the episode touches on the beauty and power of the Serenity Prayer, which offers comfort and guidance through life's challenges.
Kate's reading encourages embracing life's gifts with gratitude, recognising that sobriety offers a softer, easier path. The episode concludes with a call to unity within the AA community, stressing that collective strength is vital for enduring recovery. Whether you're considering sobriety for the first time or are a seasoned AA member, this episode offers a wealth of wisdom and encouragement. Dive into these readings to find inspiration and motivation for your own journey towards recovery.
