Kick off your day with Alyssa in this episode of AA Morning Snippets. Alyssa, an alcoholic in recovery, starts the session with a moment of silence for those suffering and recovering from alcoholism, followed by the serenity prayer. This sets a reflective tone, creating a space for daily reflections and spiritual growth. Alyssa shares her journey of initially resisting AA's principles but eventually embracing them, leading to a deeper understanding of God's grace and love.
She reads from 'AA Comes of Age', highlighting the importance of conforming to AA's steps and traditions not out of obligation but from a genuine desire to grow and unite with the community. The episode also touches on the broader issue of alcoholism education. Alyssa stresses the need for comprehensive education about alcoholism, from schools to workplaces, to foster a true understanding of the illness rather than just condemning the act of drinking.
She emphasises that while individual AAs can contribute, the responsibility for widespread education lies with specialised agencies and community efforts. The episode wraps up with the Lord's Prayer, reinforcing the spiritual aspect of recovery and offering a sense of unity and support. Alyssa's candid reflections and the communal prayers provide a comforting start to the day for anyone on their recovery journey. Tune in to find solace, inspiration, and a sense of belonging in the AA community.
