Grapevine emphasises the importance of humility in our relationships with ourselves, others, and a higher power. The episode also highlights the crucial role of newcomers and old-timers in the AA programme, comparing them to the lifeblood and arteries of the community.

It offers practical advice, spiritual insights, and a sense of community that can be incredibly comforting. Tune in to hear more about how AA’s principles can guide you towards a balanced and meaningful life.
