Start your day with a blend of reflection, spirituality, and community support in this episode of AA Morning Snippets. Alyssa, your dedicated host, begins by sharing a personal update about her father's successful surgery, thanking everyone for their support. This sets a compassionate tone that continues throughout the episode.
Alyssa, an alcoholic in recovery, leads you through a moment of silence for suffering and recovering alcoholics and their loved ones, followed by the Serenity Prayer to centre your mind and spirit. The heart of the episode features 'Daily Reflections' on the Circle and the Triangle, symbols representing the world of AA and its three core legacies: recovery, unity, and service. Alyssa shares her early experiences in AA, explaining how these symbols became integral to her journey towards sobriety.
She sees herself as the circle, with the triangle's sides representing her physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This visual metaphor beautifully illustrates the balance necessary for a sober and happy life. Alyssa then reads an excerpt from '12 and 12' about the dangers of going it alone in spiritual matters. The passage emphasises the importance of seeking guidance from friends or spiritual advisors to avoid misguided decisions. It's a gentle reminder that community support is invaluable in recovery.
The episode concludes with the Lord's Prayer, bringing a sense of closure and peace. Alyssa's final words, 'Keep coming back. It works if you work it,' serve as a motivational nudge to stay committed to the journey of recovery. If you're looking for a short but meaningful start to your day, this episode offers a perfect mix of personal stories, spiritual reflections, and practical advice. Tune in to find a moment of peace and connection.
