Start your day on a positive note with AA Morning Snippets. In this episode, Alyssa shares a heartfelt morning prayer and daily reflections that offer both solace and motivation. Alyssa, an alcoholic, begins with a moment of silence for all those affected by alcoholism, followed by the Serenity Prayer. This sets the tone for a reflective and empowering session aimed at helping you stay sober today. The daily reflections focus on the theme of 'Freedom from King Alcohol'.
Alyssa reads passages that remind us how alcohol can imprison our minds and spirits, and how true freedom comes from a willingness to take the right actions. She shares her personal struggle with alcohol, describing it as a self-made prison with bars of self-will and self-indulgence. Her story is a powerful reminder that occasional dry spells aren't enough; true escape requires ongoing willingness and action. Alyssa also touches on childhood memories that shaped her cravings for alcohol.
She recalls being distracted from her ambitions by the 'fudge of life', a metaphor for self-indulgence. This anecdote serves as a poignant reminder that small distractions can lead us away from our true goals. The episode wraps up with the Lord's Prayer, offering spiritual support and encouragement. Alyssa's closing words, 'Keep coming back. It works if you work it,' are a gentle nudge to stay committed to the journey of recovery.
If you're looking for a daily dose of inspiration and practical advice to help you stay sober, this episode is a must-listen. It combines personal anecdotes with broader reflections, making it relatable and impactful. Why not start your day with a bit of hope and determination?
