Sometimes I scream, stomp my feet, and turn my back on my higher power. Then my disease tells me that I am a failure, and that if I stay angry, I'll surely get drunk.
Start your day with a powerful dose of reflection and prayer in this episode of AA Morning Snippets. Alyssa, an alcoholic in recovery, guides you through a morning routine designed to bring peace and clarity. The episode kicks off with a moment of silence for all those affected by alcoholism, followed by the Serenity Prayer, a staple in the AA community.
Alyssa shares a poignant reading from the '12 Steps and 12 Traditions', discussing the concept of a 'safety net' during moments of rebellion and self-will. She candidly describes how anger and self-doubt can creep in, but emphasises the importance of returning to prayer and self-kindness as a means of recovery. Alyssa also reflects on the deeper existential questions that often plague alcoholics, like the search for identity and purpose.
She touches on how these questions are often distorted by alcohol but can be more clearly understood through the AA programme and spiritual practice. The episode concludes with the Lord's Prayer, offering a sense of community and shared faith. Alyssa's heartfelt plea to stay sober today is a touching reminder of the daily commitment required in recovery. Whether you're new to AA or a long-time member, this episode offers a comforting start to your day.
