The Admission Of Personal Powerlessness (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, we’re taking it back to where recovery truly begins:The admission of personal powerlessness.
Before the healing, before the Steps, before the promises — there’s a moment where we finally admit the truth:
I can’t do this on my own.
This isn’t weakness. This is awakening.
The Big Book tells us that alcohol is “cunning, baffling, powerful,” and that without help, it will beat us every time.
But the second we admit defeat — the second we surrender — the whole program opens up.
Powerlessness isn’t about giving up; it’s about giving over.
It’s the doorway to freedom, honesty, humility, and a new life that’s built on spiritual power instead of willpower.

The Answer Is Almost Always-Get out of Self! (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, we’re hitting one of the most reliable truths in recovery:When in doubt… get out of self.
Most of our problems don’t come from the world — they come from the way we react to it. When I’m stuck in fear, anger, resentment, or self-pity, 99% of the time the solution is spiritual, simple, and humbling:
Get out of self and into service, honesty, gratitude, or God’s will.
The Big Book reminds us that selfishness and self-centeredness are the root of our troubles — and that freedom comes the moment we shift the focus outward.
Today we’re talking about how to recognize when you’re stuck in self, how to get out quickly, and what happens when we let our Higher Power run the show instead of our ego.

Am I Living My Recovery Program — Or Just Visiting It? (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, we’re asking one of the hardest questions in recovery:Am I living the AA program — or just visiting it?
Anybody can go to meetings. Anybody can say the slogans. But living the program means we’ve taken the Steps off the wall and put them into our daily life.
It’s easy to get comfortable — to coast, to socialize, to make recovery look good on the outside while we’re still running the show on the inside.
But the program doesn’t work in theory. It works in practice.
The difference between visiting AA and living AA?A visitor wants relief.A liver wants change.

Humilty And Responsibilty (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, we’re talking about two spiritual principles that walk hand in hand — Humility and Responsibility.
Humility reminds us we’re not running the show.Responsibility reminds us that we still have a part to play.
In recovery, humility without responsibility turns into passivity — and responsibility without humility turns into ego.
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s balance.
God does the heavy lifting, but He expects us to pick up the tools.

There are two type of people that work in the Recovery Field (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Recovery Watchdog, we’re talking about something real — the two types of people that work in the recovery field.
You’ve got the ones who do it because they care — because they’ve lived it, survived it, and want to give back.And then you’ve got the ones who do it for the career — the paycheck, the power, the prestige.
The first type shows up early, stays late, and keeps showing up even when nobody’s watching.The second type shows up for the photo op.
The recovery field needs servants, not saviors.
If we forget that this is about people and not profit, we lose the heart of what recovery really means.
Let’s talk about what integrity looks like in this field — and what it doesn’t.

The Absolutes! (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, we’re going back to the roots — The Four Absolutes:Honesty, Purity, Unselfishness, and Love.
Long before the Twelve Steps were written, these were the spiritual yardsticks used by the Oxford Group — and they still measure how well we’re living our recovery today.
These aren’t rules — they’re reminders.
Am I being honest, or just careful with the truth?Am I choosing purity, or bending my values to fit comfort?Am I thinking of others, or myself?Am I acting in love, or in fear?
We’ll never live the Absolutes perfectly — but every day we can move closer.

We think of the day ahead (The Daily Trudge)

Every day in recovery starts the same way: with a chance to choose our mindset.Before the phone, before the coffee, before the world starts spinning, we stop and think of the day ahead.
It’s not about predicting what’s coming — it’s about preparing our spirit for it.When I ask God to direct my thinking, I’m really saying, “Keep me out of my own way today.”
The Big Book reminds us that we don’t surrender our brains; we just stop using them as weapons.When my motives line up with God’s will — to help, to serve, to stay honest — my day runs smoother, even if the world around me doesn’t.
Peace doesn’t come from control.It comes from alignment.
So before you step out the door today, take thirty seconds.Think of the day ahead, ask for direction, and then… keep trudging.

Changed Behaivor, The Only True Amend (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, we’re talking about one of the hardest truths in recovery: apologies don’t mean a thing without action.
Step 9 teaches us to make direct amends, but real amends aren’t just words — they’re consistent change.
We don’t fix the past by rewriting it; we heal it by living differently today.
Saying “sorry” may open the door, but changed behavior keeps it open.
This is where recovery gets real — when the people we hurt stop needing to believe our promises because they can see our progress.

In today’s Daily Trudge, we’re talking about the cost of freedom.
Everyone wants freedom — from addiction, from fear, from the past. But freedom isn’t something we get; it’s something we earn by showing up, doing the work, and staying honest even when it hurts.
The price? Ego. Comfort. Excuses.
The payoff? Peace. Purpose. Serenity.
Sobriety doesn’t come cheap — it costs everything that was keeping us sick.
But the freedom we find on the other side? Worth every ounce of pain it took to get there.
