Start your Sunday with a heartfelt episode of AA Morning Snippets. Alyssa, an alcoholic, guides you through a morning prayer and daily reflections that focus on the importance of self-reliance and its limits. You'll hear a moment of silence for those suffering and recovering from alcoholism, followed by the serenity prayer, which sets a calming tone for the day. The episode explores the idea that self-reliance often fails us, especially when it comes to overcoming addiction.
Alyssa shares her personal struggles with character defects and how they separate her from God's will. She emphasises the need to acknowledge fears and understand their source to find true serenity and comfort. The reflection from Alcoholics Anonymous, page 68, highlights that self-reliance alone is not enough to achieve happiness and security. Alyssa explains that only by aligning our will with God's can we find peace.
The episode also includes a passage from the AA's 12 and 12 book, which discusses the misuse of willpower and the importance of conforming our will to God's intentions. This revelation is described as a transformative experience for many in AA, as it shifts the focus from personal conquest to spiritual alignment. The episode concludes with the Lord's Prayer, reinforcing the spiritual foundation of the recovery journey.
Alyssa's sincere delivery and relatable anecdotes make this episode a comforting companion for anyone on the path to sobriety. If you're looking for a meaningful way to start your day and reinforce your commitment to recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
