Gary K. on Service in AA: The Backbone of Recovery

The-step work, in my view, is the only thing and the only reason Alcoholics Anonymous should exist as any kind of an organization, if there is such a thing, the sole purpose of groups to carry the message to the alcoholic who still suffers for whatever reason.
Ever wondered what keeps Alcoholics Anonymous running smoothly? Meet Gary K. from Parker, CO, who sheds light on the often overlooked yet vital 'Principles of Service' in AA. Recorded at the 2nd Liberty Bell Roundup in June 2013, Gary's talk dives into the nuts and bolts of how service work fuels the AA community. He emphasizes the importance of step work, group dynamics, and Bill Wilson's vision in carrying the message to those still struggling with addiction.
Gary also touches on the challenges and rewards of service work, highlighting the need for rotation and the inclusion of minority voices to keep the organization vibrant and effective. Whether you're new to AA or a seasoned member, Gary's insights offer a fresh perspective on why service is the backbone of recovery. Tune in to hear his experiences and reflections that are sure to inspire and inform.
