What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this episode of AA Morning Snippets, Alyssa greets listeners with a heartfelt morning ritual that blends prayer, reflection, and hope. As an alcoholic herself, she shares her personal journey towards sobriety, encouraging others to embrace genuine humility. The episode kicks off with a moment of silence for those battling addiction, followed by the serenity prayer—a powerful reminder to accept life's challenges with courage and wisdom.
Alyssa delves into the importance of humility in recovery, drawing from the '12 Steps and 12 Traditions' to illustrate how ego can jeopardise sobriety. She candidly reflects on her own struggles with grandiosity, highlighting the danger of letting one's sense of importance overshadow the primary purpose of recovery.

Listeners are also treated to meditations and prayers from the '24 Hours a Day' book, offering a comforting perspective on navigating the darker periods of life.

The episode wraps up with the Lord's Prayer, reinforcing the spiritual foundation that supports many in their recovery journey. Alyssa's message is clear: sobriety is a collective effort, and humility is essential in staying grounded.
Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers solace and inspiration. So, how do you embrace humility in your daily life? Reflect on Alyssa's words and consider how they might apply to your own journey.
