Sacrifice (The Daily Trudge)

Sacrifice

Recovery asks for sacrifice—but maybe not the kind we first think.

The Big Book and the 12x12 make it clear: we do give things up.

We give up the drink.
The drug.
The chaos.
The lies.
The resentments we keep feeding.
The selfishness that isolates us.
The need to always be right.
The old ideas that no longer work.

And Tradition One reminds us that we sacrifice something else too:

Personal preference for the good of the whole.

Because unity matters.
Connection matters.
The newcomer matters.

But what do we get in return?

Peace.
Freedom.
Trust.
Purpose.
Real relationships.
A life that doesn’t have to be escaped from.

Sacrifice in recovery isn’t losing who we are.

It’s letting go of what was killing us so we can become who we were meant to be.

Bottom of Form

No one trudges alone. 🙏
