"Joy isn't the absence of pain. It's the presence of God."
Ever wondered what it takes to find peace in the midst of pain? The November 15 episode of the Transitions Daily Alcohol Recovery Readings Podcast tackles this very question. Charlie L. from St. Paul, Minnesota, guides listeners through a collection of powerful readings from various AA resources, focusing on the theme of pain and its role in recovery. Bill W.'s poignant reflections remind us that joy isn't the absence of pain, but the presence of a higher power.
With acronyms like FAILURE, which stands for Fearful, Arrogant, Insecure, Lonely, Uncertain, Resentful, and Empty, listeners are invited to confront their struggles head-on. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom, drawing from sources such as 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', 'Daily Reflections', and more. Each reading provides insights into how embracing spiritual practices can transform suffering into growth and freedom.
There's a touch of humour too—rule number 62 humorously advises not to take oneself too seriously. Listeners will find solace in understanding that it's okay to feel pain and anxiety; these emotions are part of the journey to sobriety. By contemplating lessons learned from past suffering, individuals can find gratitude in present challenges. The episode highlights how prayer and conscious contact with a higher power can offer vital sustenance akin to air, food, or sunshine.
