Start your day with a heartfelt and reflective episode of AA Morning Snippets, hosted by Alyssa. In this episode, Alyssa shares a morning prayer and some daily reflections to help you navigate your journey towards recovery. She begins with a moment of silence for those suffering and recovering from alcoholism, followed by the Serenity Prayer - a cornerstone of AA meetings.
Alyssa's reflections touch on the importance of stepping into the sunlight through meditation and prayer, emphasising that nothing much can grow in the dark. She shares her personal routine of prayer and meditation, encouraging you to find time for these practices just as you found time for drinking in the past. Alyssa offers practical advice on integrating prayer into your daily life, even in a room full of people, by mentally removing yourself for a moment.
She reminds us that as the practice of prayer continues, words may become unnecessary, as God can hear our thoughts through silence. The episode also highlights the changing demographics of AA membership over the years, noting that many less desperate alcoholics have joined the fellowship, recognising their need for help before hitting rock bottom. Alyssa concludes with the Lord's Prayer, providing a sense of community and support for all those listening.
This episode is perfect for anyone looking to start their day with inspiration and a sense of connection to their recovery journey. Don't miss out on this uplifting and grounding start to your day.
