Start your day with a moment of peace and reflection in this episode of AA Morning Snippets. Alyssa, an alcoholic in recovery, begins with a moment of silence for those suffering and recovering from alcoholism. The serenity prayer sets a calm tone, reminding you to accept what you can't change and find the courage to change what you can.
Alyssa's daily reflections focus on the theme 'I'm not different,' exploring how, despite various backgrounds and life stories, all alcoholics share common ground when they admit their struggles. She highlights the importance of not isolating oneself by feeling different but instead embracing the fellowship of AA as a source of strength and connection. The episode also delves into the structure of AA, describing it as a 'benign anarchy' where personal freedom is paramount, but democratic principles guide group actions.
This balance ensures that no single person can dominate, fostering a community where everyone has a voice. Alyssa reads from 'AA Comes of Age,' shedding light on how the organisation evolved to include democratic processes to maintain its integrity and inclusivity. Ending with the Lord's Prayer, Alyssa encourages you to keep coming back, emphasising that recovery works if you work it.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that you're not alone in your journey and that AA offers a supportive community where everyone can find their place. Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned member of AA, this episode provides valuable reflections and spiritual grounding to start your day. Tune in for a blend of personal stories, practical advice, and spiritual guidance that will leave you feeling connected and inspired.
