She begins with a moment of silence for those suffering and recovering from alcoholism, followed by the serenity prayer. Alyssa reads from the AA literature, focusing on the eighth step and the importance of making amends.
She highlights how easily one can become misdirected in their recovery journey, emphasising the need for genuine willingness to make amends rather than seeking self-satisfaction.
