Kick off your Saturday with a dose of reflection and spirituality in this episode of AA Morning Snippets. Alyssa, an alcoholic in recovery, guides you through a heartfelt morning ritual that begins with a moment of silence for those affected by alcoholism. The serenity prayer sets the tone, reminding you to accept what can't be changed, find courage to change what can, and seek wisdom to know the difference.
Alyssa shares her personal journey, emphasising the importance of spiritual growth and surrendering control to a higher power. Her reflections are grounded in the teachings of Alcoholics Anonymous, specifically touching on the idea that God is either everything or nothing. This perspective has been a cornerstone in her recovery, offering a simple yet profound thought for those grappling with the complexities of alcoholism.
Alyssa also delves into the history of AA membership rules, recounting how rigid guidelines could have excluded many from the life-saving fellowship. She highlights a lesson from 1943-1944 when central office requested groups to submit their membership rules. The realisation that overly strict rules could deny alcoholics their chance at sobriety led to a more inclusive approach. The episode wraps up with the Lord's Prayer, reinforcing the spiritual foundation of AA and offering a moment of collective hope and resilience.
Alyssa's candid reflections and historical anecdotes provide both comfort and inspiration, making this episode a must-listen for anyone on the path to recovery or supporting someone who is. Why not take a few minutes to join Alyssa in this spiritual journey and find your own moment of peace and clarity today?
