I didn't seek AA out, really. I don't even remember her name or where the office was. She's just one of those us on my list. If that ever comes up, I've got it in my pocket, but like, I don't know who that person was, but I didn't.

They reflect on how being of service to others can be a cornerstone of recovery, offering insights that are both practical and deeply personal. Whether you're new to AA or a long-time member, this episode provides valuable perspectives on the importance of group conscience and the collective wisdom that guides AA meetings.
