This sets the tone for a session filled with spiritual insights and practical wisdom. The Serenity Prayer is a staple here, offering a grounding mantra to embrace serenity, courage, and wisdom.
Alyssa dives into the concept of humility, discussing its true nature—not self-deprecation but recognising one's strengths while acknowledging a higher power's role in our achievements. She reflects on how God works through her, asking for help to shed shortcomings and embrace love and service within AA. Drawing from the book Alcoholics Anonymous, Alyssa highlights the shift from spiritual fantasy to genuine purpose, emphasising the balance between lofty spiritual experiences and practical, grounded living.
This balance is crucial for connecting with fellow travellers on the road to recovery. Ending with the Lord's Prayer, Alyssa invites listeners to keep returning to these principles, reminding them that recovery is a continuous journey that works if you work it. Whether you're seeking spiritual guidance or a supportive community, this episode offers a comforting blend of faith and practical advice to navigate the path of sobriety.
