Kickstart your day with a heartfelt dose of reflection and gratitude in this episode of AA Morning Snippets.

She begins with a moment of silence, remembering both suffering and recovering alcoholics and their loved ones.

Alyssa dives into the theme of 'progressive gratitude,' emphasising that gratitude should be forward-looking. She shares her personal journey of recovery, expressing deep appreciation for the second chance at life that Alcoholics Anonymous has given her. Alyssa's reflections remind us that sobriety is not something that can be maintained by resting on past achievements; it requires ongoing action and commitment. She quotes AA co-founder Bill W., who said that gratitude is best demonstrated by carrying the message to others.
Alyssa highlights the importance of working Step 12, which involves spreading the message and practising AA principles in all aspects of life. Her reflections serve as a powerful reminder that gratitude is more than just a feeling—it's an action. The episode also includes a reading from 'As Bill Sees It,' which underscores the value of being open-minded and supportive of various methods that aim to solve alcoholism.
Alyssa closes with the Lord's Prayer, reinforcing the spiritual foundation that supports many in their recovery journey. This episode is a beautiful blend of spirituality, gratitude, and actionable advice, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to recovery. Are you ready to start your day with a renewed sense of purpose and gratitude?
