The purpose of District 70 is to be a unifying entity for the AA groups within the district and to empower the individuals and groups to carry the message of Alcoholics Anonymous. To provide a forum for AA groups to share their experience, strength and hope to help one another to carry out the AA purpose to the best of their abilities and within their group conscience. To further the AA purpose by setting up committees, forums and volunteer groups to serve the AA community, prisons and jails, treatment centers, the professional community and the general community at large. Additionally, to serve the Groups by listening to feedback and issues presented by their GSRs at District meetings.
Listen to stories of recovery
AA members Don, Olis and Sam interview other AA members about their experience, strength, and hope in recovering from alcoholism. Expect both humor and inspiration as these AA members share their stories.
Susie talks to Don and Sam about coming into AA while in high school, and some of the attitudes she learned to change. Only in AA, she says, did she find others who admitted that they too loved alcohol—until it turned on them. The three discuss using AA tools to get through challenging times sober. In a History Snippet, Mily reports on the early days of AA in Canada.
