Finding Peace in Acceptance: Daily Reflections with Cindy L.
Acceptance is the answer to all my problems. Today, when I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place thing, situation, some fact of my life unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be.
Ever felt like you're battling against the tide in your sobriety journey? Cindy L. from Fort Worth, Texas, brings a breath of fresh air in this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast'. She dives into the theme of acceptance, reading from a variety of AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', 'Daily Reflections', 'Big Book Quote', 'Just for Today', and 'As Bill Sees It'.
Cindy's warm and understanding voice guides listeners through the powerful concept that acceptance is not about giving up but acknowledging reality and deciding how to move forward. She explains that true sobriety starts with accepting one's alcoholism and embracing life as it comes. Alongside acceptance, Cindy touches on spirituality, humility, and the importance of self-reflection. She also discusses how resentment and anger can be roadblocks to recovery and highlights the benefits of volunteering and service within AA.
