Start your day with a dose of inspiration and reflection with Alyssa on AA Morning Snippets. This episode, recorded on January 16th, 2025, begins with a moment of silence for those suffering from alcoholism and their loved ones. Alyssa then leads listeners in the Serenity Prayer, setting a calm and contemplative tone for the episode. The main focus is on 'Hitting Bottom' - a crucial concept in the journey of recovery.
Alyssa shares her personal experience of hitting rock bottom and how it opened her mind to trying something different, which led her to AA. She likens her early days in AA to learning how to ride a bike, with the fellowship acting as her training wheels and supportive hand. Alyssa's desire to avoid the pain of hitting bottom again was stronger than her urge to drink, which initially kept her sober.
Over time, she found herself genuinely working the steps, noticing gradual changes in her attitudes and actions. The episode wraps up with the Lord's Prayer, reinforcing the spiritual foundation that many find essential in their recovery journey. Alyssa's honest reflections and heartfelt prayers offer comfort and motivation for anyone navigating their own path to sobriety. Tune in for a blend of wisdom, spirituality, and personal growth that can help you face each day with renewed strength.
