I know the biggest word for me in aa is honesty. I don't believe this program would work for me if I didn't get honest with myself about everything.
Ever wondered why honesty is often touted as the cornerstone of recovery? In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', Kurt L. from Albuquerque, New Mexico, sheds light on why being truthful is crucial for anyone striving to live an alcohol-free life. Kurt opens up about his personal struggles with honesty, admitting that it was the hardest part of the AA program for him to grasp.
He explains that living a life filled with lies was second nature to him, making the shift to honesty a monumental challenge. Yet, he firmly believes that without embracing honesty, the journey to sobriety would be incomplete. Kurt also delves into the spiritual aspects of recovery, discussing how surrendering to a higher power and finding joy in that surrender can transform one's life.
He emphasizes that no one can be perfectly honest—only a higher power can achieve that level of perfection—but striving for honesty is what counts. Kurt's reflections on making amends are particularly poignant. He shares a personal story about initially blaming his father for his troubles, only to realize that he needed to clean his own side of the street. This episode also touches on the importance of prayer and meditation in achieving emotional balance and perspective.
Kurt encourages listeners to take it easy and have faith in a higher power to help them navigate the ups and downs of life. If you're on a sobriety journey and looking for daily inspiration, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
