Morning Serenity: Alyssa's Reflections on Step 1 and Higher Power
Through Daily working of all steps, I find that triumphant arch waiting for me to pass through to another day of freedom.
Picture this: a calm morning, a quiet moment, and a voice that understands your journey. In this episode of 'AA Morning Snippets', Alyssa, a recovering alcoholic, sets the tone with a moment of silence for those still battling addiction. She then leads listeners through the Serenity Prayer, a comforting ritual for many in Alcoholics Anonymous. But Alyssa doesn't stop there.
She dives into the concept of the Keystone from the Daily Reflections book, comparing it to Step 1 of the 12 Steps of AA. Just like a keystone locks an arch together, Step 1 is crucial but needs the support of other steps to build a solid foundation for recovery. Alyssa's reflections highlight the importance of acknowledging a higher power, a core principle in AA.
She shares how different members interpret this concept in their own ways, encouraging an open-minded and tolerant approach to various beliefs. Wrapping up with the Lord's Prayer, Alyssa leaves listeners with a heartfelt plea to stay sober for the day. This episode is a brief yet powerful way to start your day with hope and inspiration, making it a perfect companion for anyone on the path to sobriety.
