A Vision For You AA speakers

In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, listeners are taken back to the International Convention of Alcoholics Anonymous held in Seattle, Washington in 1990. The episode features three inspiring speakers who share their heartfelt journeys through alcoholism and recovery, embodying the theme 'A Vision for You'. The episode opens with Pete, an Englishman residing in Germany, who underscores the importance of anonymity and the AA tradition of attraction rather than promotion.

He reads a poignant excerpt from the 'Big Book', reminding everyone that the journey of recovery is one filled with potential lifelong friendships and profound transformation. Next up is Bob, whose humour and raw honesty provide a refreshing perspective on the struggles and triumphs of sobriety. Bob's anecdotes about his family and his colourful past highlight the chaotic life of an alcoholic before finding solace in AA.

The final speaker reflects on the transformative power of Alcoholics Anonymous, sharing personal stories of redemption and hope. The speaker emphasises that the program's success lies in its unchanged and undiluted message, passed down from the founders.
