"Serenity isn't freedom from the storm, it is peace within the storm."
How do individuals turn their lives around after addiction? The December 7th episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast offers a blend of wisdom and encouragement for those on the journey to sobriety. Kirsty S., hailing from the East Midlands in the UK, guides listeners through a series of recovery quotes from cherished resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day' and 'As Bill Sees It'.
Each segment is a gentle reminder of the strength found in acceptance, humility, and daily spiritual practice. The episode highlights the concept of serenity, painting it not as an escape from life's storms but as finding peace amidst them.

The episode also delves into the idea of 'True Ambition', encouraging a shift from seeking approval to living humbly under the grace of a higher power. Listeners are invited to reflect on their own journeys with prompts like, "Am I tolerant of other people's mistakes?" and to consider the nourishment of their spiritual selves alongside their physical needs. With each reading, Kirsty emphasises the importance of community and service in maintaining sobriety.
This episode is perfect for anyone seeking inspiration or support in their recovery journey. It's a reminder that sobriety is not just about abstaining from alcohol but embracing a life filled with purpose and peace. Are you ready to find serenity in your storm?
