“"Faith is not belief without proof. It's trust without reservation."”
How do people cope with the challenges of staying sober? This short daily episode from Transitions Daily offers a gentle mix of prayer, practical wisdom, and classic Alcoholics Anonymous readings, all read by Craig M from Denny, Scotland. Centred around the theme of prayer and trust, the episode shares a powerful story from Alcoholics Anonymous about a man who hits rock bottom and simply says to God, "Here I am and here are all my troubles...
you take me and all my troubles and do anything you want with me." What follows is a sense of peace that shows how surrender can bring unexpected relief, even when life feels like "the bottom of hell". You’ll hear familiar AA ideas brought together: faith as "trust without reservation", the acronym FEAR as "False Evidence Appearing Real", and Dr Silkworth’s description of "the obsession plus the allergy" that outlines the alcoholic’s dilemma.
There’s a strong reminder that accepting Step One is essential – without it, "the new prospect had to accept step one or get no place". The readings also touch on the determination of AA’s founders, with gratitude for their persistence in building meetings that are now available around the clock. Anger gets a honest look too, describing how "a well-nurced grudge" and "dry benders" can lead straight back to the bottle.
To balance things out, there’s a cheerful reminder: "We aren't a glum lot... We absolutely insist on enjoying life." The final reflections circle back to attitude, trust, and handing the future over to a higher power, one day at a time. If you’re sober, sober-curious, or just hanging on with hope today, this bite-sized episode might be a calm moment in your day – what would it be like to hand your worries over, just for today?
