Facing Fear and Finding Faith: Daily AA Readings for 15 September
Episode Overview
- Facing fear with faith and the attitude of “Thy will, not ours, be done” helps reduce anxiety about life’s outcomes.
- Intensive work with other alcoholics is highlighted as one of the strongest safeguards against drinking.

- Honest moral inventory is urged to uncover buried character defects hidden under self-justification.
- Quiet meditation, prayer, and trust in a higher power are presented as daily sources of strength and serenity.
“Nothing will so much ensure immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics. It works when other activities fail.”
How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? This short daily episode from Transitions Daily brings together classic Alcoholics Anonymous readings for anyone who’s serious about staying sober or thinking about quitting drinking for the first time. Read by Kurt L. from Albuquerque, New Mexico, the episode centres on fear, faith, and the practical day-to-day work of recovery.
It opens with Bill W.’s reflection on living in a fearful world yet finding courage through surrender: “We AAs can say that we do not fear the world outcome… we shall fear no evil. Thy will, not ours, be done.” From there, you’ll hear the playful acronym FAITH – “Fear Ain’t In This House” – setting a more light-hearted tone around a heavy topic. The readings emphasise service and connection as powerful protection against relapse.
The Big Book reminder that “nothing will so much ensure immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics” is backed up by vivid promises of life taking on new meaning, loneliness lifting, and friendships forming through fellowship. You’ll also get guidance on self-examination from *Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions*, pointing out how buried defects, hidden under “thick layers of self-justification”, can lead to misery if they’re not honestly faced.
A further Big Book quote stresses that recovery is gradual: a “body badly burned by alcohol does not often recover overnight,” and twisted thinking takes time to straighten out. The daily reading from *Twenty-Four Hours a Day* and the meditation and prayer sections focus on quiet time with a higher power, asking what can be done for the still-suffering alcoholic, and finding strength in “quietness and confidence”.
This episode suits anyone already in AA, those curious about the programme, or anyone wrestling with fear around alcohol and craving a calm, structured start to their day. Could a few minutes of reflection and fellowship-focused wisdom be the new habit that supports your sobriety?
