I tried to focus on God's will, not my problems, and to trust that He would manage my day.
Start your day with a dose of inspiration and reflection in this episode of AA Morning Snippets. Alyssa, who introduces herself as an alcoholic, begins by offering a moment of silence for those struggling with and recovering from alcohol addiction.
The episode kicks off with the Serenity Prayer, a cornerstone for many in recovery: 'God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.' It's a powerful way to centre yourself before diving into the day's reflections. Alyssa shares her personal journey of grappling with overwhelming tasks and deadlines.
She recalls how reading passages from Alcoholics Anonymous helped her shift her focus from her problems to God's will. The change didn't happen overnight, but gradually, she found the calm she needed to tackle each day effectively. It's a relatable struggle for anyone trying to balance life's demands while staying sober. The episode also touches on the concept of emotional sobriety, citing a passage from the Grapevine magazine.
Alyssa explains that at the root of every disturbance is some unhealthy dependency and its consequent unhealthy demand. By surrendering these liabilities with God's help, we can achieve emotional freedom and even help others along the way. The episode wraps up with the Lord's Prayer, reinforcing the spiritual foundation that supports many in their recovery journey. Alyssa's closing words, 'Keep coming back.
It works if you work it,' serve as a gentle reminder that recovery is a continuous process that requires effort and dedication. If you're looking for a brief yet impactful way to start your day, this episode offers both spiritual and practical guidance. It’s perfect for anyone seeking a moment of calm and clarity amidst the chaos of daily life. Why not give it a listen and see how it resonates with you?
