Start your day with Alyssa in this episode of AA Morning Snippets. Alyssa, an alcoholic in recovery, begins with a heartfelt moment of silence for those struggling with alcohol addiction and their loved ones. She leads listeners through the Serenity Prayer, asking for the serenity to accept the things that cannot be changed, the courage to change what can be changed, and the wisdom to know the difference. This sets a reflective and peaceful tone for the day ahead.
Alyssa shares daily reflections on two key principles of AA: humility and responsibility. She emphasises how spiritual development in AA can be measured by our adherence to these standards. By acknowledging and respecting others' views and accepting when we're wrong, we practice humility. Living by AA principles in all areas of life shows responsibility. Alyssa highlights how these precepts give meaning to AA traditions and can be applied beyond the fellowship, offering a rich philosophy of life.
In her reflection on 'As Bill Sees It', Alyssa talks about overcoming prejudices and recognising the valuable role of clergymen in maintaining faith through the ages. She recounts how opening her eyes to new perspectives led her from despair to solid ground, thanks to a fellow sufferer who showed her the truth. The episode concludes with the Lord's Prayer, reinforcing the spiritual foundation of AA's philosophy.
Alyssa encourages everyone to keep coming back, reminding them that recovery works if you work it. This episode is a gentle yet powerful reminder of the importance of humility, responsibility, and spiritual growth in recovery. Tune in for a dose of inspiration and start your day on a positive note.
