Good morning! Alyssa, the host of AA Morning Snippets, starts this episode with a heartfelt prayer and some powerful daily reflections. Alyssa opens with the Serenity Prayer, asking for the strength to accept, change, and understand life's challenges. This episode's focus is on the importance of having no reservations about sobriety. Alyssa shares that once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic, emphasising that there should be no lurking notion that one can ever be immune to alcohol.
She reflects on her personal experiences and the wisdom found in Alcoholics Anonymous literature, particularly page 33, which underscores the idea that even potential alcoholics can quickly become the real thing. Alyssa's message is clear: sobriety is a gift, and maintaining it requires constant vigilance and gratitude. She also addresses the misconception that AA is a selfish program, explaining that prioritising one's recovery and spiritual growth is essential for being of value to others.
The episode concludes with the Lord's Prayer, reinforcing the spiritual foundation of the recovery journey. This episode is a gentle yet firm reminder that sobriety is a daily commitment and a gift worth cherishing. Tune in for a dose of inspiration and reflection to start your day right.
