In this episode of AA Morning Snippets, Alyssa takes you through a reflective journey using the Big Book's guidance on addressing personal conduct and relationships. Focusing on the first full paragraph of page 69, Alyssa discusses the importance of reviewing past actions, particularly in terms of selfishness, dishonesty, and inconsideration. She prompts you to ask yourself hard-hitting questions about who you've hurt and where you've gone wrong, encouraging a written inventory of these behaviours.
Alyssa shares how these reflections can shape a healthier future, especially regarding your sex life, by asking for divine guidance and striving for a sound ideal. She stresses the importance of making amends without causing further harm and treating sex as any other life issue - with thoughtful meditation and seeking the right answers from God. Alyssa also touches on the balance between fanaticism and looseness about sex, advising against hysterical thinking.
She reassures that falling short doesn't necessarily lead to relapse, as long as there's genuine remorse and a desire for betterment. The episode wraps up with a reminder to pray for guidance, focus on helping others to manage personal urges, and maintain a comprehensive personal inventory. Alyssa's blend of spiritual advice and practical steps offers a comforting and structured approach to recovery. Why not give it a listen and see how these reflections can help you on your journey?
