AA is not in the business of making money, especially not in the business of making money off of other people's misery.
Have you ever wondered how Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) maintains its grassroots feel while still getting things done? In this episode of 'Keep It Simple - Daily Reading', Aron C. dives into Tradition 8, which states that AA should always remain non-professional, though it can employ special workers. Aron shares his personal journey with this tradition, reflecting on how he used to interpret it and how his understanding has evolved over time.
He touches on the delicate balance between staying true to AA's core values and ensuring the organization runs smoothly. Aron also discusses the importance of not profiting from others' struggles and the role of group expenses in AA. This episode is a thoughtful exploration of how AA navigates the line between passion and professionalism, all while carrying the message of hope and recovery.
It's a must-listen for anyone curious about the inner workings of AA and how it stays grounded in its mission. Plus, Aron invites listeners to share their own thoughts and experiences, making this episode an engaging conversation starter.
