Our first job is to sidestep the traps.
Ever find yourself caught in a whirlwind of emotions that derail your recovery journey? You're not alone. In this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast', Sarah M. from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, dives into the tricky terrain of emotional booby traps. She reads from a variety of AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', 'Daily Reflections', and the 'Big Book'.
These readings shine a light on the emotional landmines that can trip us up, such as quick-tempered criticism, power-driven arguments, and silent scorn. Sarah emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and learning to pause before reacting. She draws from the Big Book to highlight how selfishness and self-centeredness, often fueled by fear and self-pity, lie at the heart of addiction.
This episode also touches on the role of spirituality in recovery, underscoring the power of prayer and asking for strength to face challenges. Sarah encourages listeners to find personal growth through service to others, sharing how helping those who struggle with similar issues can be profoundly healing. The episode wraps up with a reminder of the immense value in sharing our own painful experiences, offering hope and solidarity to those still grappling with addiction.
For anyone navigating sobriety, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt support.
