The idea that somehow someday he will control and enjoy his drinking is the great obsession of every abnormal drinker.
Ever feel like you're stuck in a never-ending loop of trying to control your drinking? This episode of the Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast is a must-listen. Each day, this podcast delivers thought-provoking quotes from various AA resources, aiming to provide a beacon of hope for those grappling with addiction and alcoholism.
In this particular episode, the focus is on the persistent obsession that haunts many drinkers—the belief that they can somehow control and enjoy their drinking like others. This dangerous illusion often leads to repeated, futile attempts to moderate drinking, which can spiral into insanity or worse. The episode encourages listeners to confront this obsession head-on by admitting their alcoholism to themselves.
It also highlights the importance of adhering to AA's steps and traditions while avoiding external distractions that can derail recovery efforts. Listeners will hear about the Washingtonian Society, a historical movement that nearly found a solution to alcoholism but ultimately failed due to political entanglements. The episode delves into themes of tolerance, love, and diversity within AA groups, emphasizing how these values, along with spiritual guidance, can aid in the journey to sobriety.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been part of AA for years, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement. Tune in and take that crucial step toward breaking free from the cycle of obsession and addiction.
