The idea that somehow someday he will control and enjoy his drinking is the great obsession of every abnormal drinker.
Ever found yourself trapped in the relentless cycle of trying to control your drinking? This episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast' dives into that very struggle. Sarah M. from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, brings to light the gripping obsession many abnormal drinkers face: the belief that they can someday control and enjoy their drinking. It's a journey marked by countless failed attempts and often leads to despair and danger. But there's hope.
Sarah discusses the crucial first step to recovery—accepting that one is an alcoholic. This acceptance paves the way for healing and growth. The episode also offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Washingtonian Society, a group of alcoholics in Baltimore who, a century ago, tried to help each other before losing their way by becoming temperance crusaders. Their story serves as a reminder of the importance of staying focused on mutual support and recovery.
Humility, tolerance, and diversity are highlighted as core values in Alcoholics Anonymous, essential for anyone on the path to sobriety. Sarah emphasizes that by surrendering both our strengths and weaknesses to a higher power, we can shed the bad and nurture the good within us. The episode wraps up with an inspiring message about the potential for a wonderful future when one relies on spiritual strength.
This episode isn't just about listening; it's about finding connection and support in a shared struggle. Whether you're battling alcohol obsession or supporting someone who is, this podcast offers valuable insights and encouragement.
