Start your day with Alyssa in this episode of AA Morning Snippets. Alyssa, an alcoholic, opens with a heartfelt moment of silence for those suffering and recovering from alcoholism. The episode features the Serenity Prayer, asking for serenity, courage, and wisdom to face life's challenges. Alyssa shares her journey of gradually believing in a power greater than herself and how this belief has helped her find answers to her deepest problems at unexpected times.
She reflects on the AA position that alcoholism is an illness, emphasizing that this concept doesn't absolve alcoholics from moral responsibility but rather imposes a heavy obligation to use AA's 12 steps to get well. Alyssa also touches on the moral responsibility of alcoholics, explaining that while early irresponsibility is common, once compulsive drinking takes hold, the individual can't be fully accountable for their actions. This understanding pressures them to accept AA's program of moral regeneration.
The episode concludes with the Lord's Prayer and a reminder to keep coming back to AA meetings because it works if you work it. Alyssa's sincere reflections and prayers provide a comforting and motivating start to the day for anyone on their recovery journey. Tune in to hear Alyssa's insights and find strength in her words.
