Kick off your day with Alyssa in this episode of AA Morning Snippets. Alyssa, a dedicated member of Alcoholics Anonymous, guides you through a morning of reflection, prayer, and encouragement. The episode starts with a moment of silence for all suffering and recovering alcoholics and their loved ones, setting a solemn yet hopeful tone. Alyssa then leads the Serenity Prayer, asking for the courage to change and the wisdom to know the difference.
It's a comforting reminder that you're not alone in your journey. The heart of this episode is the daily reflection on self-honesty. Alyssa shares her own experiences with self-deception during her drinking days and the importance of being honest with oneself and others. She stresses that honesty is not just about truth-telling but also about being genuine with your motives and actions. This honesty, she explains, is a cornerstone for recovery and personal growth.
Alyssa's words resonate deeply as she discusses how her higher power helps her overcome character defects like deception. Alyssa also reads from 'As Bill Sees It', focusing on the theme of freedom through acceptance. She highlights the pivotal moment when she accepted that she couldn't conquer alcohol alone and needed to rely on a higher power or her AA group. This acceptance, she says, was the beginning of her liberation from alcohol's grip.
Her reflections offer a powerful message about the strength found in surrender and the communal support within AA. The episode concludes with the Lord's Prayer, reinforcing the spiritual foundation that supports many in their recovery journey. Alyssa's closing words, 'Keep coming back. It works if you work it,' serve as an encouraging nudge to stay committed to sobriety one day at a time.
This episode is a blend of spiritual guidance, personal reflection, and community support - perfect for anyone seeking a moment of peace and motivation in their recovery journey.
