AA can't push the digital technology and the digital age away. We can use it as a spiritual tool and it's good for a way to carry the message of alcoholics anonymous.
Ever wondered how anonymity holds up in our tech-driven world? This episode of Sober Cast dives into this very topic. Recorded at the 55th International Conference of Young People in AA (ICYPAA) in Phoenix, AZ, in July 2013, a panel of speakers tackles the unique challenges and opportunities that the digital age brings to Alcoholics Anonymous.
These young voices are unafraid to address what many might shy away from: the balance between embracing technology and maintaining the sacred tradition of anonymity. You'll hear firsthand accounts and reflections on why anonymity is crucial for honesty, humility, and safety within AA. The panelists discuss the spirit of the 11th tradition and how it can guide us in navigating new technologies.
They emphasize the importance of knowledge, experience, and sponsorship in adapting to these changes without losing sight of AA's core principles. One speaker poignantly notes that while AA can't ignore the digital age, it can certainly use it as a tool to spread its message more effectively. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone involved in AA or interested in understanding how traditional values can coexist with modern advancements.
Whether you're a newcomer or a long-time member, this discussion offers valuable perspectives on keeping anonymity intact while leveraging technology for the greater good.
