2025-11-15-AA Morning Snippet

Good morning! Alyssa kicks off this AA Morning Snippet with a heartfelt prayer and some reflections to set the tone for a day of recovery. It's Saturday, November 15th, 2025, and Alyssa, who openly identifies as an alcoholic, invites listeners to take a moment of silence for those suffering and recovering from alcoholism. She shares the serenity prayer, a cornerstone for many in the AA community, asking for serenity, courage, and wisdom.

The episode is all about daily reflections, focusing on how prayer and meditation are vital sustenance for the mind and spirit, much like air and food are for the body. Alyssa dives into Step 11, discussing how conscious contact with a higher power doesn't have to be overwhelming. Simple acts like smiling, listening, and forgiving can bring you closer to your spiritual self. Alyssa also touches on AA's symbol—a circle enclosing a triangle—representing recovery, unity, and service.

She shares how this symbol is a means of warding off evil spirits and reflects on the 1955 international convention at St. Louis where AA's legacies were entrusted to the whole movement. It's a nostalgic yet grateful look at how AA has evolved over time. Ending with the Lord's Prayer, Alyssa encourages listeners to keep coming back because it works if you work it. It's a reminder that each day is an opportunity for growth and sobriety.

So, what are your thoughts on finding beauty in others as a way to connect with your higher power? Reflect on that as you start your day.
