"Don't try to get too damn good by Thursday."
Ever wondered what it takes to keep pride in check on the journey to sobriety? In this engaging episode, Kirsty S. from The East Midlands guides listeners through a series of enlightening Alcoholics Anonymous readings focused on the theme of pride. You'll hear reflections on how spiritual pride can sneak up on those in recovery, and why it's important to balance pride with gratitude.
The episode features a thought-provoking quote from Bill W., reminding us that trying to be 'too damn good by Thursday' can lead to a false sense of perfection. Listeners are treated to wisdom from AA's 'Big Book', where the significance of humility and service to others is emphasised. The episode also shares a touching story of how AA's Twelve Steps have been embraced by diverse faiths, including a Buddhist monastery in Thailand, showing the universal appeal of these principles.
Kirsty S. encourages listeners to reflect on their unique opportunities to serve others and the profound impact this can have on personal recovery and the wider world. With daily reflections and meditations, this episode provides a comforting reminder that even during life's grey days, maintaining faith and recognising the presence of a higher power can offer solace and strength.
Whether you're new to sobriety or a seasoned AA member, this episode offers practical insights and heartfelt encouragement to keep pride in check while embracing the journey of recovery. So, what role does pride play in your life, and how can you balance it with gratitude?
