One of the things that has happened in AA, as we have tried to stay true to our singleness of purpose, which is a very important concept, it's not to be made light of the way AA has approached singleness of purpose.
Is Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) still the powerful force it once was? Bill C from Torrance, California, and Jay S tackle this provocative question in a workshop recorded at the South Bay Family Roundup in 2008. This episode of Sober Cast is a raw and reflective exploration of AA's evolution over the years. Bill and Jay delve into the history of the fellowship, touching on its humble beginnings and the pivotal moments that have shaped its journey.
They discuss the challenges of maintaining the 'singleness of purpose' amidst a world that has seen the rise of other addictions. Sponsorship, a cornerstone of AA, is another focal point as they highlight its crucial role in guiding newcomers through the program. Group inventories, often overlooked, are presented as a vital tool for keeping AA groups on track.
Bill and Jay stress the importance of honesty and self-reflection in these inventories, urging groups to take a hard look at their practices. The workshop wraps up on an inspiring note, celebrating the privilege of carrying out the AA message and the sense of community that AA fosters. If you're curious about the inner workings of AA and how it has adapted over time, this episode offers a thought-provoking and engaging listen.
