SEPTEMBER BLOG: Are The Kids Alright? A look at youth in AA through the years. AA Grapevine features those who got sober in their teens and twenties, this month. We borrow from the adventures of Dr. Earle who, 20-years-ago talked to Grapevine (1995) about his "Physician Heal Thyself" story in The Second Edition of Alcoholics Anonymous forty years earlier. Not only is he an insight into how AA's younger members fit into AA's early days, he talks of
Emotional Sobriety troubles that plagued him and Bill W in long-term recovery.

June 2020 Podcast, #53. There's been a serge of new people to the secular AA zoom meetings. We want to back up a bit and talk about the Why secular AA, How we do secular AA, a brief history of secular AA - which, even if you've been around a while, it is surprising to see a rational, practical (secular) view of AA has always been championed from on corner of AA or another. We'll talk about the 1963 secular (10) steps from San Fran in 1965, the secular (7) Steps in Sweden in the early 1950s. Founders celebrated all of these artistic liberties. Also, hot off the press, Reality Check: Being Nonreligious in America survey and study has some analysis that really speaks to the range of positive to prickly experiences atheists and agnostics get in AA.... and the value of irreligious AA to serve an underrepresented minority in the rooms. Anyway, click the pick for Episode 53
