My sobriety working this program has truly given me a life I could not have imagined and I'm incredibly grateful to the program of Alcoholics Anonymous.
In this episode of AA on Air, hosted by Rebecca on Wellington Access Radio, listeners are introduced to the heartening world of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in Wellington, New Zealand. The episode opens with the serenity prayer, a cornerstone of AA meetings, setting a tone of acceptance and courage.

Jessica, a guest from the Kilburnie group, shares a reading from Chapter 3 of the AA book, focusing on the challenge of admitting one's alcoholism and the persistent illusion that one can control their drinking. The discussion dives into personal stories, including the struggles and realizations that accompany the journey to sobriety.

Listeners are reminded that AA is a fellowship open to anyone with a desire to stop drinking, and there are no dues or fees for membership. The program offers a way of life through its steps, promising a path to sobriety and a community of support. Rebecca encourages those who may be struggling with alcohol to reach out, whether through the Kilburnie meeting or the AA website for Alcoholics Anonymous Aotearoa New Zealand.
The episode closes with a reaffirmation of the serenity prayer, underscoring the themes of acceptance, courage, and wisdom that are intrinsic to recovery. Overall, the episode provides an insightful look into the transformative power of AA, offering hope and guidance to those seeking a life free from the grips of alcoholism.
