Morning Reflections with Alyssa: Gratitude, Prayer, and Sobriety
Punishment never heals. Only love can heal.
Imagine waking up to a voice that not only understands your struggles but also offers a beacon of hope each morning. That's what Alyssa brings to the table with her 'AA Morning Snippets'. In this episode, Alyssa dives into the heart of recovery, starting with a moment of silence for those battling alcoholism and their loved ones. She then leads listeners through the Serenity Prayer, grounding the day in AA's core principles. But it doesn't stop there.
Alyssa shares a heartfelt message of gratitude, paying homage to everyone who has contributed to AA's success, including the often-overlooked support from the founders' wives. She encourages you to reflect on the support you’ve received from your own loved ones, reminding you that you're never alone on this journey. One of the standout themes in this episode is the destructive power of resentment. Alyssa quotes from the book Alcoholics Anonymous, emphasizing that resentment is a major trigger for relapses.
She stresses the importance of avoiding controversy and shunning punitive measures, no matter the misdeed. Instead, she champions love as the ultimate healer. The episode wraps up with the Lord's Prayer, a powerful reminder of forgiveness and the daily commitment to sobriety. Alyssa’s compassionate words serve as a daily touchstone, reinforcing that recovery is not just possible but sustainable with community support and self-love.
