1Two home group members, one lost meeting space, and Twelve Traditions put to the test. This immersive A.A. radio play brings us along on one group’s search for a new location while teaching the spiritual principles that keep Alcoholics Anonymous unified and alive.
For five decades, the GSO Archives Department has preserved the story of Alcoholics Anonymous. Through one member’s remarkable 66-year journey in sobriety, we uncover how those records deepen our understanding of A.A.’s past.
Self-support in Alcoholics Anonymous goes beyond financial contributions; it also reflects a deeper guiding value. This episode explores A.A.’s 7th Tradition, its benefits, and the spiritual principle behind turning down outside contributions through interviews, testimonials and…poetry.
Ninety years after its founding, many people have heard of A.A., but not everyone understands how it works. In this episode, we hear how non-alcoholic professionals, A.A. members and GSO Staff help open the doors to recovery by dispelling misinformation about A.A.
Service not only sustains A.A. – it transforms the lives of the members who participate in it.Go inside the General Service Structure of A.A. to see how groups, delegates, and the GSO work together to protect the future of recovery.
