Start your day with a dose of reflection and prayer in this episode of AA Morning Snippets. Alyssa, an alcoholic, leads a morning session filled with heartfelt moments and daily reflections. She begins with a moment of silence for those suffering and recovering from alcoholism, followed by the serenity prayer. Alyssa shares a personal story about gardening, using the metaphor of pruning her plants to illustrate the painful yet necessary process of growth and recovery.
She draws parallels between cutting back plants to make them stronger and the emotional turmoil that often precedes serenity in sobriety. Alyssa also reflects on the importance of speaking up without fear, even if it means dropping anonymity in daily interactions. She emphasises that while public meetings can be controversial, they are beneficial as long as anonymity is respected.
The episode wraps up with the Lord's Prayer and a simple yet powerful plea for sobriety: 'Dear God, please help me stay sober today.' This episode is a gentle reminder that pain can lead to growth and that speaking openly about one's struggles can be a powerful tool in the journey to recovery. Tune in for a blend of spiritual reflection, personal anecdotes, and practical wisdom that will leave you feeling inspired and supported.
