Wake up to a fresh start with Alyssa in this episode of AA Morning Snippets. Alyssa, an alcoholic herself, begins the day with a moment of silence for all suffering and recovering alcoholics and their loved ones. She recites the Serenity Prayer, a cornerstone for many in recovery, asking for the serenity to accept what cannot be changed, courage to change what can be, and wisdom to know the difference.
This episode dives into the concept of true brotherhood as discussed in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. Alyssa reflects on how self-centered behaviour often blocked meaningful relationships and the importance of being 'one among many'. Her personal journey in AA taught her how to be a person among persons, which she shares with heartfelt honesty.

Alyssa wraps up with the Lord's Prayer, reinforcing the spiritual foundation that supports her recovery. This episode is a gentle reminder that sobriety is just the beginning of a journey towards a fuller, more connected life. Tune in for a dose of daily reflection and spiritual grounding.
