July 16 Selfishness - Transitions Daily Alcohol Recovery Readings Podcast

Ever find yourself grappling with selfish tendencies on your road to recovery? Sarah M. knows the struggle all too well. In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', Sarah takes listeners through a series of AA readings focused on the theme of selfishness. Drawing from beloved resources like 'Twenty-Fours A Hours A Day', 'Daily Reflections', and 'As Bill Sees It', she unpacks how selfishness can be a stumbling block in the journey to sobriety.

Sarah doesn't just stop at identifying the problem; she delves into the solution by highlighting the transformative power of humility. She shares that 'pain had been the price of admission into a new life, but this admission price had purchased more than we expected'. This humility, she explains, acts as a healer of pain, guiding those in recovery towards a more selfless life.

Sarah also touches on the dangers of rationalization, warning that justifying one bad decision can quickly spiral into a full-blown relapse. But it’s not all cautionary tales; Sarah leaves listeners with a hopeful message about finding peace through a higher power, reassuring them that they can face any challenge each day brings. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for a while, Sarah's reflections offer valuable insights and encouragement.
