Growing Up: Spiritual Growth and Recovery Insights with Kurt L.
The program has helped me grow up enough to be a kid again.
Feeling stuck in your recovery journey? This episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast' might be just what you need. Hosted by Kurt L. from Albuquerque, New Mexico, the September 1st episode, titled 'Growing Up', dives into the critical role of spiritual growth in overcoming addiction.
Through a series of daily readings from well-loved AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'Daily Reflections', and the 'Big Book Quote', Kurt offers a blend of wisdom and practical advice for anyone on the path to sobriety. One standout moment in this episode comes from the 'AA Thoughts for the Day' reading, which emphasizes the need for drastic changes in our old attitudes as we grow spiritually.
It’s a powerful reminder that the journey to sobriety isn’t just about quitting alcohol; it’s about evolving into a better version of ourselves. Another highlight is the January reading from 'Grapevine', which encourages us to share our experiences openly. This episode serves as a gentle nudge to break down walls and connect with others who are also navigating the challenges of addiction.
Kurt also touches on the perils of resentment, citing the 'Big Book Quote' that describes it as 'infinitely grave'. Resentment can block us from the spiritual light that guides our recovery, making it crucial to address these feelings honestly. The 'Just for Today' reading adds another layer by urging us to be truthful about our shortcomings and to trust in a higher power to lead us to better things.
The episode wraps up with a meditation on God's unwavering love, reminding us that divine support is always available. The accompanying prayer reinforces this message, encouraging listeners to have faith in God's strength and presence. If you’re looking for inspiration and practical tips to bolster your sobriety journey, this episode offers valuable insights on humility, emotional sobriety, and the transformative power of spiritual growth.
