2026-10-05-AA Morning Anippet

Curious about how others manage their sobriety from the very first moments of the day? This short AA Morning Snippets episode offers a gentle, grounded start to Monday, 5th October 2026, with Alyssa guiding a brief but meaningful routine for anyone in recovery. You’ll hear the familiar rhythm of AA: a moment of silence for suffering and recovering alcoholics and their loved ones, followed by the Serenity Prayer.

Alyssa acknowledges her own alcoholism upfront, setting an honest and relatable tone that many in recovery will recognise. The core reflection, titled “Yesterday’s Baggage”, focuses on self-searching as a daily habit. Drawing from *Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions*, the message is simple but challenging: life starts to change when you regularly look at your own behaviour and patiently work to correct what’s wrong. The reading suggests questions that can shape a daily inventory: “Did I hurt anyone?

Did I help anyone? And why?” Instead of dragging yesterday around like a suitcase with broken wheels, the idea is to “balance today’s books” so tomorrow stands a better chance. The episode also looks at AA’s approach to anonymity and speaking publicly about alcoholism.

Citing early AA writings, Alyssa shares the view that many members choose to be open about their recovery with friends and associates, aiming to show that “our alcoholism is a sickness we no longer fear to discuss before anyone”, while still respecting AA’s anonymity tradition in media and publicity. The morning closes with the Lord’s Prayer and a simple, heartfelt request: “Dear God, please help me stay sober today.

Amen.” If you’re looking for a quick, structured way to start your day with reflection, honesty and a reminder that “it works if you work it”, this snippet might be the nudge you need. How might your morning feel different if you checked in with yourself like this every day?
