Morning Prayer, Amends, and Unity: A Short AA Reset
Episode Overview
- Start the day with silence for suffering and recovering alcoholics and their loved ones.
- Use the Serenity Prayer to accept what cannot be changed and focus on what can.
- Treat recurring guilt about past harms as a signal to place that person on your amends list.
- Remember that unity in AA is essential: “Unified we live, disunited we shall perish.”
- Keep AA spiritually strong and welcoming for those who have yet to arrive in the fellowship.
“Unified we live, disunited we shall perish.”
Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This short AA Morning Snippet offers a gentle, structured way to start the day with recovery front and centre. Alyssa, who introduces herself simply as "an alcoholic", guides listeners through moments of silence, prayer, and classic AA readings that many in recovery will recognise. You’ll hear the Serenity Prayer, followed by a Daily Reflections reading on “writing the harm”.
The focus sits squarely on the emotional damage people can carry long after the incident itself, especially when amends feel “too small” to bother with. One passage hits home: if a person and a past wrong keep resurfacing in your mind, it might be time to put that name at the top of your amends list and make a sincere apology. The promise is simple: relief and calm once that step is taken.
The episode then shifts to a reading from *As Bill Sees It* about unity in AA. The line "Unified we live, disunited we shall perish" underlines how much the fellowship’s strength depends on people showing up, staying connected, and thinking about those “sick ones still to come to AA.” There’s a clear emphasis on keeping AA ready and spiritually strong for anyone who hasn’t yet found the rooms.
The snippet closes with the Lord’s Prayer and familiar AA phrases like “Keep coming back. It works if you work it,” plus a simple closing request: “Dear God, please help me stay sober. Today. Amen.” If you’re looking for a quick, grounding touchpoint for your morning, this gentle mix of prayer, reflection, and AA wisdom might be just the reset you need—what name might belong at the top of your own amends list today?
