Kickstart your day with 'AA Morning Snippets' hosted by Alyssa, an alcoholic on the road to recovery. This episode, dated March 7th, 2024, offers a heartfelt blend of prayers, reflections, and wisdom aimed at those battling alcohol addiction and their loved ones. Alyssa begins with a moment of silence for suffering and recovering alcoholics, followed by the serenity prayer - a grounding ritual that sets the tone for the day.
The focus is on 'willingness', as highlighted in AA's Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. Alyssa shares that even a small amount of sincere willingness can invite a higher power to take control, transforming worries into serenity. She reflects on how giving up pride and self-will has been crucial in her recovery journey.
The episode also features insights from AA co-founder Bill W., who humbly dismisses the term 'founder', acknowledging that anyone contributing to 12-step work is essentially a founder of new lives for other alcoholics. Bill’s letters from 1945 and 1966 emphasise the collective effort and support from non-alcoholics, especially medical professionals, religious figures, and family members like Anne and Lois, without whom AA's beginnings might not have been possible.
Alyssa wraps up the episode with the Lord's Prayer, reinforcing the spiritual foundation of AA's approach. Her genuine and compassionate delivery makes this podcast a comforting companion for anyone on their recovery journey. Whether you're seeking solace, inspiration, or just a moment of peace, this episode offers a gentle reminder that willingness and support are key ingredients in overcoming addiction. Tune in to find a moment of calm and reflection amidst the chaos of recovery.
Willingness can open doors - how willing are you to take that first step?
