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 80 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 current edition of Mountain Doin’s – the newsletter with all the news that’s of interest to our local community – is available at https://md.aancmco.org
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.
Tina tells Olis and Don that she was living in a sports car and had to drink whether she wanted to or not. Alcohol was like a magic elixir and made her willing to give up everything in her life that mattered. Tina learned in AA that if she focused on suggestions and working the steps, all her big concerns would melt away. In the feature Using the Traditions in Our Lives we hear from Mark, Suzy, Deb and Rick on Tradition 3: “The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking.”
While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses. Grapevine is the only AA entity that does not accept direct contributions, so to support the AA Grapevine Podcast, please subscribe to Grapevine Magazine in print, online, or on the Grapevine app. You can also provide a subscription to someone in need through our “Carry the Message” program or purchase books or other items at aagrapevine.org/store
You can email us at podcast@aagrapevine.org. To record an Ask-It-Basket question or a recovery-related joke, call 212-870-3418 or email a voice recording to podcast@aagrapevine.org
