How do you start your day on the right foot, especially when you're on a journey of recovery? Alyssa, an alcoholic, kicks off this episode with a warm welcome and a reminder of the power of daily reflections. As we approach the end of 2025, Alyssa shares her thoughts on the importance of living within a 24-hour frame, encouraging listeners to focus on the present rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
This concept isn't just about resolutions; it's about making each day count as if it were New Year's Day. With a sprinkle of humour, Alyssa prepares us for the calendar mix-up that comes with the new year and invites us to join her in a moment of silence for those struggling with alcoholism. The serenity prayer sets the tone for introspection, while daily reflections offer a roadmap for emotional stability.
Alyssa draws from the '24 Hours a Day' book to highlight how loyalty, generosity, kindness, creativity, and love can shape our recovery journey. The episode wraps up with the Lord's Prayer, underscoring the value of spiritual grounding in recovery. Alyssa's heartfelt message is clear: each experience, whether good or bad, contributes to our growth. As we reflect on the past year, we're reminded that every moment is an opportunity to learn and improve.
