Kickstart your day of recovery with Alyssa's heartfelt reflections and prayers. In this episode of AA Morning Snippets, Alyssa, who introduces herself as an alcoholic, begins by leading a moment of silence for those suffering and recovering from alcoholism. She follows with the serenity prayer, a cornerstone in the journey of sobriety, asking for the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change what we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Alyssa then dives into daily reflections, focusing on the theme of learning to love oneself. She shares her personal struggles with emotional security, often sought through unhealthy relationships and dependence on others. Her candid admission of feeling isolated and lonely, despite being surrounded by loved ones, is a stark reminder of the emotional battles faced by many in recovery.

Alyssa credits her journey through the 12 steps, a supportive sponsor, and staying sober as key elements that helped her build self-esteem and learn to love herself. Only then could she extend that love to others. The episode also features a poignant excerpt from 'As Bill Sees It', discussing the importance of embracing change for personal growth. Alyssa highlights that recognising and shouldering responsibility for necessary changes is crucial for progress in recovery.

The episode concludes with the Lord's Prayer, reinforcing the spiritual aspect of the recovery process.
