Start your day on a positive note with Alyssa in this episode of AA Morning Snippets. Alyssa, an alcoholic, leads a session filled with prayers, reflections, and gratitude exercises that aim to uplift and inspire those on the path to recovery. The episode begins with a moment of silence for suffering and recovering alcoholics and their loved ones, followed by the Serenity Prayer - a staple in many recovery journeys.

Alyssa then dives into daily reflections, sharing a personal exercise of listing blessings. This gratitude practice, inspired by 'As Bill Sees It', encourages you to acknowledge the good in your life, no matter how small. Alyssa recounts her own experience of compiling a list that spanned two pages and took two hours, highlighting the importance of recognising and being thankful for even the simplest of blessings.

She also touches on the concept of God-given instincts from '12 and 12', discussing how our natural instincts, while necessary for survival, can sometimes dominate our lives if not kept in check. The episode concludes with the Lord's Prayer, offering a moment of collective spiritual connection. Alyssa's heartfelt reflections and prayers provide a comforting and motivating start to the day for anyone on the recovery journey.

Tune in for a dose of inspiration and a reminder that gratitude can be a powerful tool in staying sober.
