Ever wondered how the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) community navigates its conferences and tackles significant issues? In this episode of 'Alcoholics Alive!', Shank and Wayne dive into the agenda items for the 75th General Service Conference, focusing on the CPC, Corrections, and Finance Committees. They discuss the progress reports on AA's LinkedIn page, pamphlets for mental health professionals, and materials aimed at helping neurodivergent and unhoused alcoholics.
They also touch on the importance of face-to-face interactions over pamphlets and the challenges of ensuring AA’s message is inclusive without diluting its principles. With a mix of humour and candid reflections, Shank and Wayne share their thoughts on the necessity (or lack thereof) of certain pamphlets and the real essence of AA’s spiritual program. The episode also features a segment called 'Living Sober Shrapnel', where they dissect some quirky sayings from the 'Living Sober' booklet.
From 'cafeteria style' recovery to 'just don’t pick up that first drink', they provide a humorous critique of these common phrases. If you're curious about how AA maintains its traditions while adapting to modern challenges, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for an engaging discussion that combines AA history, practical advice, and a good dose of humour.
