"My desire to avoid hitting bottom again was more powerful than my desire to drink."
What does it mean to truly hit rock bottom, and how can it become a turning point in one's life? In this eye-opening episode of AA Morning Snippets, Alyssa shares her personal journey of recovery, beginning with a moment of silence for those affected by alcoholism. She reflects on the importance of hitting bottom, as it's often the catalyst for embracing the 12-step programme of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
Alyssa likens her early days in AA to learning to ride a bike, with the fellowship serving as her training wheels and supportive hand. The episode delves into daily reflections and explores the idea that the desire to avoid hitting bottom again can be more powerful than the urge to drink. Alyssa candidly shares how this motivation helped her remain sober initially, eventually leading to a shift in her attitudes and actions.
She highlights the significance of taking sobriety one day at a time, which allowed her to become more comfortable with herself and others, ultimately aiding in her healing process. Listeners are treated to wisdom from AA literature, emphasising the personal choice involved in interpreting the programme. Alyssa discusses how the mindset of intending never to drink again differs from outright declarations, leaving room for divine assistance in overcoming the obsession with alcohol.
Concluding with the Lord's Prayer, Alyssa offers a heartfelt plea for continued sobriety. This episode is a testament to the power of community and the transformative journey of recovery. What lessons can we learn from those who've faced their lowest moments and emerged stronger?
