She discusses how alcoholics often make excuses and rationalise their behaviour, drawing parallels between AA's teachings and psychiatric insights. Alyssa underscores the importance of spiritual growth through AA's 12 steps and the guidance of a good sponsor.
She appreciates the contributions of psychiatry in understanding deeper motivations behind one's actions. Alyssa wraps up the episode with the Lord's Prayer, reinforcing the spiritual aspect of recovery. Her heartfelt plea to stay sober today resonates deeply, offering a sense of community and support to anyone listening.
