How do people find hope in the darkest times? Join Alyssa on this enlightening episode of AA Morning Snippets as she shares her morning reflections and prayers to kickstart your day with serenity and strength. Alyssa, an alcoholic, opens with a moment of silence for those struggling with addiction and their loved ones. The serenity prayer sets the tone, inviting listeners to seek peace and courage in their recovery journey.
Alyssa reflects on the concept of a spiritual awakening, challenging the idea that it must be dramatic. Instead, she shares how a subtle transformation into a state of peace and awareness can be life-changing. Through her personal experience, she emphasises that the depth of one's commitment to the 12 steps directly influences this new dimension of consciousness. Drawing from AA literature, Alyssa discusses the 'three choices' in the quest for sobriety: rebellion, complacency, or striving for true freedom.
She encourages listeners to continuously work on their character defects to achieve lasting freedom from alcohol. Ending with the Lord's Prayer, Alyssa reminds us that maintaining sobriety is an ongoing journey. This episode is a gentle yet powerful reminder that sobriety is not just about abstaining from alcohol but embracing a holistic transformation. It encourages you to reflect on your own path and consider how deeply you are engaging with your recovery process.
So, how deeply are you willing to commit to your journey today?
