Kickstart your day with Alyssa in this episode of AA Morning Snippets. Alyssa, an alcoholic, leads a heartfelt session that begins with a moment of silence for suffering and recovering alcoholics and their loved ones. The serenity prayer follows, grounding the episode with its timeless wisdom: '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'.
Alyssa then dives into daily reflections on anger, describing it as a 'dubious luxury' that alcoholics cannot afford. Drawing from Alcoholics Anonymous literature, she explores how anger, self-pity, and false pride are toxic for those in recovery. Alyssa shares her personal experiences with these negative emotions and emphasises the importance of letting go of justifiable resentment and self-righteousness.
She recalls a quote from the Grapevine, highlighting the destructive nature of prideful righteousness and how it can be just as harmful as glaring sins. This reflection serves as a reminder to focus on positive thinking and self-improvement rather than judging others. The episode concludes with the Lord's Prayer, reinforcing a sense of community and shared faith among listeners. Alyssa's closing words, 'Keep coming back.
It works if you work it', offer encouragement and hope to those on their recovery journey. If you're looking for a meaningful way to start your day, this episode provides a blend of spiritual guidance, personal reflection, and communal support. Tune in to feel inspired and grounded as you navigate your path to sobriety.
