For years, I believed in a punishing God and blamed him for my misery. I have learned that I must lay down the weapons of self in order to pick up the tools of the AA program.
Start your day with a burst of positivity and reflection in this episode of AA Morning Snippets. Alyssa, an alcoholic in recovery, begins with a moment of silence for those struggling with alcohol and their loved ones. The serenity prayer sets a peaceful tone, reminding us to accept what we cannot change and find the courage to change what we can.
Alyssa shares her daily reflections, focusing on the idea that we are meant to be 'happy, joyous, and free.' She emphasises that misery is often self-inflicted and encourages us to avoid creating our own suffering. Instead, she suggests viewing challenges as opportunities to demonstrate resilience and faith. The episode also touches on the concept of spiritual humility. Alyssa recounts how her past arrogance nearly derailed her recovery efforts and stresses the importance of respecting others' beliefs.
She admits that even now, she sometimes falls into the trap of thinking others should follow her way of life, but she recognises the damage this can cause. Ending with the Lord's Prayer, Alyssa invites you to embrace a higher power and seek guidance for staying sober. Her heartfelt plea, 'Dear God, please help me stay sober today,' serves as a powerful reminder that recovery is a daily commitment.
Tune in for a dose of inspiration and reflection to kickstart your day. This episode offers valuable insights into maintaining sobriety and finding joy in the journey.
