Start your day with a powerful dose of inspiration and reflection in this episode of AA Morning Snippets. Alyssa, an alcoholic, takes you through a heartfelt journey beginning with a moment of silence for those suffering from alcohol addiction and their loved ones. The episode is anchored by the serenity prayer, which sets a reflective tone right from the start.

Initially sceptical of others' intentions, she soon realised the joy and fulfilment that comes from helping fellow alcoholics. This shift in attitude not only enriched her life but also strengthened her resolve to support others on their sobriety journey. The episode continues with daily reflections on the concept of 'giving without strings', drawing from the text 'As Bill Sees It'. Alyssa explains how this principle has brought a unique richness to her life, filled with love and understanding.
She also delves into the complexities of guilt and pride, highlighting how these emotions can be destructive if not addressed. Using excerpts from 'Alcoholics Anonymous' and personal anecdotes, she emphasises the importance of moral inventory and sincere self-examination to heal emotional wounds. The episode wraps up with the Lord's Prayer, offering a moment of spiritual connection and grounding.
Alyssa’s closing words, 'Keep coming back, it works if you work it', serve as a gentle reminder that recovery is a continuous journey. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt encouragement. Don't miss out on this uplifting start to your day.
