2026-06-15-AA Morning Snippet

Curious about how others manage their sobriety each morning? This short AA Morning Snippet offers a calm, structured start to the day, especially for those in recovery or anyone who cares about someone who struggles with alcohol. Hosted by Alyssa, who introduces herself simply as "I'm an alcoholic," the episode opens with a moment of silence for suffering and recovering alcoholics and their loved ones.

From there, you'll hear the familiar grounding of the Serenity Prayer: "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can't, and the wisdom to know the difference." The central theme is the idea of making AA itself a higher power.

A reading from Daily Reflections explains how someone who once felt superior to everyone else yet couldn't bear their own reflection gradually found hope by choosing "a table, a tree, then my AA group" as a higher power. Over time, through "patience, humility, and a lot of questions," that grew into a personal belief in God and a "happy, sober life." Alyssa also shares a Grapevine reading from January 1962 that speaks to fear and uncertainty in a troubled world.

It connects the global sense of unease with the individual fear many alcoholics feel early in sobriety, and lands on a calm statement of trust: "We shall fear no evil. Thy will, not ours, be done." The snippet closes with the Lord's Prayer, a reminder to "keep coming back" and a simple daily intention: "Dear God, please help me stay sober today.

Amen." If you're looking for a brief, steadying check-in to frame your day in recovery, this gentle routine might be exactly the kind of support you want.
