During his first AA years, every AA has had plenty of the urge to revolt against authority. I know I did and can't claim to be over it yet. I've also served my time as a maker of rules, a regulator of other people's conduct. I can now look back upon such experiences with much amusement and gratitude as well.
Ever felt bogged down by rules and regulations on your sobriety journey? In this episode of 'Keep It Simple - Daily Reading', host Aron C. takes us back to the early days of Alcoholics Anonymous with a reading from the Grapevine Daily quote. This particular snippet, 'Rules Dangerous But Unity Vital', penned by AA co-founder Bill W., dives into his personal experiences with authority and rule-making during AA's formative years. Bill W.
humorously recalls his initial rebellious streak against authority and his own attempts at being a rule-maker. But with time, he learned that unity and connection hold far more value in the path to sobriety than any set of rigid rules. This episode isn't just about Bill W.'s journey; it's a reminder for all of us to focus on building meaningful relationships and fostering unity within our recovery communities.
Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for a while, these insights are a powerful reminder of what truly matters. Tune in for a dose of wisdom and perhaps a chuckle at the early missteps that led to greater understanding.
