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.
In his drinking years Leonard felt like life was punishment. He tells Olis and Don how a woman kindly asked him if he thought his drinking was a problem, and he soon found his way to an AA meeting. He walked through the door, got a sponsor and his life changed. In Listener Feedback we hear from Angela and Emily. We also hear back about favorite non-alcoholic beverages from Pat, Chad and Sunny. Pat shares a photo that you can see on Grapevine’s Instagram. Gerry and Cynthia write in about the Get the App Rap. In Using The Traditions in Our Lives we hear from Laura, Leslie and Liz about Tradition Seven. In Wits End we hear a joke from Jack.
While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses.
