Need help with a drinking problem?
A.A. has a solution. That isn’t an empty promise. A.A. has been helping alcoholics recover for more than 90 years. A.A.’s program of recovery is built on the simple foundation of one alcoholic sharing with another. If your drinking is out of control, A.A. can help.
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.
Beth tells Olis and Sam that in her drinking years impending doom became the norm. Trips to jail didn’t scare her, she just blamed everyone else. In AA she learned not to believe everything she thinks and to watch her thinking. Beth wonders why she sometimes believes that God is going to drop her, when God has never dropped her.
