Curious about how others manage their sobriety journey day by day? This AA Morning Snippets episode offers a gentle, structured start to Wednesday, 30th September 2026, aimed at anyone who wants to ground their recovery in prayer, reflection, and AA principles.
Alyssa introduces herself simply and honestly: "My name is Alyssa, and I'm an alcoholic." From there, you'll be guided into a moment of silence for "the suffering and recovering Alcoholics and their loved ones inside and out of the rooms," setting a tone of connection and care right from the start. The episode moves through the Serenity Prayer, giving space to those familiar lines many people lean on: asking God for serenity, courage, and wisdom.
Taken together, these are described as the foundation of "a sober and happy life." You'll also hear from "As Bill Sees It" and the "12 Concepts," highlighting that AA’s life is built around the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions, and that disobeying these principles can lead to "death for the individual and disillusion for the group." At the same time, AA is described as being held together by "our compelling love for our fellow members and for our principles," and its headquarters in New York is portrayed not as a command centre but as "our largest transmitter of the lessons of experience." The episode closes with the Lord's Prayer and a simple plea: "Dear God, please help me stay sober today.
Then it shifts into Daily Reflections, focusing on the AA symbol of the circle and triangle. The circle stands for the whole AA fellowship, while the triangle represents "AA's three legacies of recovery, unity, and service." Alyssa shares how one reflection identifies the circle as a "circle of love and service," and relates the triangle to different parts of a person: physical well-being, emotional sanity, and spirituality.
Amen." If you're looking for a short, prayerful check-in to start your day in recovery, this calm, familiar format might be just what you need.
