Start your day with a heartfelt dose of recovery and reflection with Alyssa on AA Morning Snippets. This episode kicks off with a moment of silence for suffering and recovering alcoholics and their loved ones, setting a compassionate tone right from the start.
Alyssa leads with the Serenity Prayer, a staple in many recovery journeys: 'God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference, amen'. The episode dives into daily reflections that focus on understanding one's powerlessness and dependence on a higher power. Alyssa shares passages from 'As Bill Sees It' and '12 and 12', offering wisdom on finding purpose and meaning through faith.
She speaks about how recognising her own powerlessness has helped her trust in a life guided by a higher power, which she believes is leading her towards a better version of herself. Alyssa also touches on the experiences of 'loners' in AA—members who may not have a traditional family life but find deep satisfaction and community within the fellowship.
She highlights how these individuals often feel less alone as they immerse themselves in meaningful projects and friendships within AA, proving that happiness and fulfilment can be found in various forms. The episode wraps up with the Lord's Prayer, another cornerstone for many in recovery. Alyssa's closing words are a gentle reminder to 'keep coming back, it works if you work it'. Her prayer for sobriety encapsulates the episode's essence: 'Dear God, please help me stay sober today. Amen'.
Whether you're new to recovery or a long-time member, this episode offers a comforting mix of spiritual guidance and practical advice. Tune in to find solace, strength, and a sense of community. Are you ready to start your day with a dose of inspiration and support?
