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.wncaa.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.
Melody and Eric join Don and Sam to share their experience, strength and hope in recovery from alcoholism, and their recent experience with the Plain Language Big Book. Melody says even as an atheist she cried out to whatever alien to please stop her drinking, and she then accidentally ended up in an AA meeting. Eric says he came in wanting to stand out rather than fit in, and that he’s been reading Grapevine since he stole his first issue. In the Ask it Basket Sam M. (no relation) has a question about the Plain Language Big Book. Don, Sam, Melody and Eric discuss the new book, and we also hear from Phillip, Kenneth, Chelsea and Stephanie. Julie shares about her role as Grapevine Chair in her district.
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.
