Morning Step Six Reflections with Alyssa
Episode Overview
- Use daily prayer, such as the Serenity Prayer and the Lord’s Prayer, to centre your recovery at the start of the day.
- Step Six asks for real willingness to change and to let go of old patterns and identities linked to drinking.
- Reviewing what has already been done in the earlier steps helps build a strong foundation for further growth.
- When holding on to something you can’t release, ask your higher power for the willingness to let it go.
- AA unity and service are described as a shared spiritual structure built by many, reminding people they are not alone in recovery.
“I now ask, am I willing to live a life of sobriety, of change, to let go of my old self?”
Get ready to be moved by real-life accounts of early-morning recovery practice, as this short AA Morning Snippet with Alyssa sets a calm, grounded tone for the day. Aimed at anyone living alcohol-free or working towards sobriety, it’s especially suited to those who like structure, prayer, and a gentle reminder of why they started this journey.
The snippet begins with a moment of silence for "the suffering and recovering Alcoholics and their loved ones inside and out of the rooms," immediately widening the focus from individual recovery to the wider AA community. You’ll then hear the Serenity Prayer, placing acceptance, courage, and wisdom right at the centre of the morning.
The main theme circles around Step Six and the idea of "letting go of our old selves." Alyssa shares the AA reading on preparation for change: "I now ask, am I willing to live a life of sobriety, of change, to let go of my old self?" It’s a clear reminder that recovery isn’t just about stopping drinking, but about being genuinely ready for a different way of living.
There’s also a strong sense of connection to AA history and fellowship. Through the reading from *As Bill Sees It*, listeners hear the image of AA as "this wonderful edifice of the spirit" and a "cathedral" whose foundations rest across the earth, with the Twelve Steps carved into its floor and the spire named "service" pointing towards God. It’s simple, structured, and rooted in tradition. The episode closes with the Lord’s Prayer and a heartfelt request: "Dear God.
Please help me stay sober today." If you’re looking for a brief, prayer-based check-in to start your day in recovery, this snippet might be the quiet nudge you need. How do you want to show willingness for change today?
