Start your day with a dose of inspiration and reflection in this episode of AA Morning Snippets. Hosted by Alyssa, an alcoholic in recovery, the episode begins with a moment of silence for those suffering from alcohol addiction and their loved ones.
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.' This simple yet powerful prayer sets the tone for the day's reflections. The main theme revolves around 'Entering a New Dimension', a concept that resonates deeply with those in recovery.
Alyssa shares her personal experience of transformation through AA principles, recounting how admitting complete defeat and embracing these principles freed her from the obsession with alcohol. She highlights a poignant moment when a fellow AA member told her, 'This could be your last hangover, or you can keep going around and round.' This statement struck a chord with Alyssa, leading her to embrace the idea of admitting defeat and finding freedom.
Alyssa also touches on the inclusivity of AA, noting that it must never become bogged down in theological contention. She shares how various religions see resemblances to their own practices in AA's 12 steps, making it a universally welcoming program. The episode concludes with the Lord's Prayer and a heartfelt plea for divine help to stay sober for the day.
This episode is a blend of personal anecdotes and broader reflections, offering a sense of community and support for anyone on the path to recovery. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Alyssa's words provide comfort and encouragement. Tune in for a spiritually uplifting start to your day.
