We're in the business of helping people stay sober. You need to have somebody who can put a website out there.
Ever wondered what keeps Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) ticking? In this episode of the 'Sober Friends' podcast, Matt, John, and Steve break down Traditions 8 and 9, the unsung heroes that help AA function smoothly. They chat about why AA should stay non-professional, but still employ special workers, and how it should never be organized, yet have service boards and committees. It's like balancing on a tightrope but with a safety net below.
This episode dives into the nitty-gritty of why these traditions matter and how they prevent personal ambitions from derailing the group's primary mission: staying sober. Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned member, you'll find their insights both enlightening and practical. From the significance of alcathons during holidays to the importance of rotating service positions, Matt, John, and Steve cover it all.
Tune in for a deeper understanding of AA's framework and maybe even find a way to get more involved in your local community.
