Daily Reflection Podcast

The Daily Reflection Podcast delivers hope, and inspiration through interviews with members of the recovery community through the lens of the Daily Reflection book. Each day, we ask a person in recovery to read the Daily Reflection for the day, and share how this relates to their program of recovery. The result is that we learn through their experience how they manage to get and stay sober. We are not affiliated with Alcoholics Anonymous or any recovery program.

When working with a man and his family, you should take care not to participate in their quarrels. You may spoil your chance of being helpful if you do.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 100

When trying to help a fellow alcoholic, I've given in to an impulse to give advice, and perhaps that's inevitable. But allowing others the right to be wrong reaps its own benefits. The best I can do - and it sounds easier than it is to put into practice - is to listen, share personal experiences, and pray for others.

PROBLEM SOLVING

"Quite as important was the discovery that spiritual

principles would solve all my problems."

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 42

Through the recovery process described in the Big Book, I

have come to realize that the same instructions that work on

my alcoholism, work on much more. Whenever I am angry

or frustrated, I consider the matter a manifestation of the

main problem within me, alcoholism. As I "walk" through

the Steps, my difficulty is usually dealt with long before I

reach the Twelfth "suggestion," and those difficulties that

persist are remedied when I make an effort to carry the

message to someone else. These principles do solve my

problems! I have not encountered an exception, and I have

been brought to a way of living which is satisfying and

useful.
