Faith and Humility: A Journey with Transitions Daily
Humility means to show submissive respect, and by being humble I realize I am not the center of the universe.
Have you ever wondered how belief and humility play into your sobriety journey? In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', host Sarah M. brings a thoughtful exploration of these themes through daily readings from beloved AA sources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day' and 'Daily Reflections'. Sarah starts by discussing the significance of having faith in something greater than oneself.
She reads, 'Despite contrary indications, I had little doubt that a mighty purpose and rhythm underlay all', from AA Thoughts for the Day. This sets the stage for a deeper dive into spirituality versus religion, highlighting the non-doctrinal approach favored by many in the AA community. Humility is another cornerstone of this episode. Sarah shares a powerful quote from the Big Book: 'Without some degree of humility, no alcoholic can stay sober at all.
Without it, they cannot live to much useful purpose or, in adversity, be able to summon the faith that can meet any emergency.' The episode also emphasizes the importance of daily prayer and meditation, along with trusting in a higher power's plan. Sarah wraps up with a heartfelt prayer for the day, seeking strength to trust in divine guidance. This episode is perfect for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how belief and humility can support their sobriety journey.
