As our founder said about the absurdity of alcoholics judging each other, the way our worthy alcoholics have sometimes tried to judge the less worthy is, as we look back on it, rather comical.
How do you keep a classic relevant in a changing world? In this episode of Rebellion Dogs Radio, Joe C tackles the evolving nature of Alcoholics Anonymous literature. With the General Service Conference on the horizon, AA is re-examining its Big Book to ensure it speaks to today's newcomers. Joe dives into the ongoing research by the General Service Office (GSO) that highlights issues of relatability and literacy in AA texts.
He sheds light on proposed modifications aimed at making the literature more inclusive and accessible, reflecting societal changes and the diverse experiences of modern members. Joe doesn't stop at the Big Book. He also explores the concept of recovery capital, discusses 'Living Sober' as a standalone program, and delves into the supernatural elements within AA.
Throughout the episode, Joe emphasizes AA's commitment to inclusivity and understanding, making it clear that this fellowship is not about judgment but about offering a welcoming space for everyone. Whether you're a long-time member or new to AA, this episode offers valuable insights into how the organization is striving to remain relevant and supportive in today's world. Tune in to hear about the thoughtful changes being considered and how they aim to better serve the community.
