In this episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast, Sarah M from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, takes you through a series of powerful recovery readings centred around the theme of fear. This episode features various quotes and reflections from notable AA resources such as 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'Daily Reflections', and the 'Big Book'. Sarah shares her thoughts on how fear can be as damaging as any other vice, suggesting that self-reliance often falls short in tackling it.
Instead, she highlights the importance of surrendering to a higher power to find true peace and sanity. One particularly compelling segment is the 'A.A. Thought for the Day', which discusses how fear can cause more trouble than stealing. The episode encourages listeners to write down their fears and question why they exist, suggesting that many fears stem from a lack of faith in something greater than oneself.
Sarah also reads a passage from 'As Bill Sees It', which touches on the misconception that alcoholism absolves individuals from moral responsibility. Instead, it emphasises that recognising alcoholism as an illness actually increases one's moral obligation to pursue recovery. Another highlight is the 'Daily Reflections' reading, which focuses on the gradual acceptance of a higher power and how this belief can bring solutions to life's deepest problems, often in unexpected moments.
The episode wraps up with a meditation and prayer, offering a sense of hope and renewal for those struggling with fear and addiction. If you're grappling with fear or seeking inspiration on your journey to sobriety, this episode provides a blend of practical advice and spiritual insight. Tune in for a daily dose of encouragement and wisdom from the AA community.
