Start your day on a positive note with Alyssa's 'AA Morning Snippets'. This episode kicks off with a moment of silence for all those affected by alcoholism, followed by the serenity prayer. Alyssa then dives into daily reflections, focusing on the theme of harm and its impact on relationships. She shares her own journey of realising the extent of harm she had caused, not just to herself but to others as well.
Through the lens of AA's 12 steps and traditions, Alyssa explores how unfulfilled instincts can lead to various forms of harm - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Alyssa candidly discusses her experiences with the eighth step, admitting that her list of people she had harmed was longer than she initially thought. She reflects on how her drinking led her to neglect important relationships and fail to be there for others.
The episode also includes a reading from 'As Bill Sees It', highlighting the importance of extending love and kindness beyond our immediate circle. The episode wraps up with the Lord's Prayer, offering a moment of spiritual grounding. Alyssa's honest and heartfelt reflections provide a relatable and inspiring start to the day for anyone on their recovery journey. Whether you're in the early stages of sobriety or have been on this path for years, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
Tune in to find out how you can bring more honesty and forthrightness into your relationships and take another step towards a balanced life. Keep coming back - it works if you work it!
