Episode Overview

  • Start your day with a moment of silence for those affected by alcoholism.
  • The serenity prayer can be a powerful tool for navigating life's challenges.

  • Faith and community support are essential components of recovery.
By accepting life as it is, I gain serenity. By taking action, I gain courage.
Wake up to a new day of recovery with Alyssa on AA Morning Snippets. In this heartfelt episode, Alyssa, an alcoholic, starts by leading a moment of silence for all suffering and recovering alcoholics and their loved ones. She then recites the serenity prayer, asking for peace, courage, and wisdom - a prayer that holds profound meaning for many in the AA community.
Alyssa shares her personal experiences with the prayer, explaining how its simple beauty and deep significance have guided her through tough times. She emphasises that accepting life as it is brings serenity, while taking action requires courage, and recognising the difference between the two is key to staying on the path of recovery. The episode also includes daily reflections from the AA literature, highlighting the importance of accepting oneself and approaching new ventures with a constructive mindset.
Alyssa recalls her younger years when she felt compelled to excel in everything to mask her feelings of inferiority. This all-or-nothing attitude led her to strive for perfection, which eventually contributed to her struggles with alcohol. Through AA, she learned to view new challenges as experiments rather than tests of her worth, reducing the pressure to succeed and helping prevent relapse. Alyssa wraps up the episode with the Lord's Prayer, reinforcing the importance of faith and community in recovery.
Her candid reflections and practical advice offer a comforting start to the day for anyone on their recovery journey. Whether you're new to AA or have been part of the fellowship for years, Alyssa's insights remind you that progress is possible one day at a time. Start your day with Alyssa's encouraging words and find strength in the shared experiences of the AA community. Remember, it works if you work it!
