The basic idea is simple and practical. There comes a time in the life of every family when the parents must say to the sons and daughters alike, you are grown up, here is your inheritance. Do with it as you will. We will watch, we will help, but we must no longer decide for you, act for you, and protect you. You are henceforth responsible for your own lives and well-being. So now take your destiny by the hand and may God love you.
Picture this: It's 1955, and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous is at a crossroads. In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio,' hosts Chris S. and the Monty'man take you on a captivating journey through the Grapevine Writings of AA co-founder Bill W. Episode 40, 'Walking Through the Language of the Heart,' shines a spotlight on the pivotal St. Louis anniversary and its profound influence on the growth and responsibility of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Chris and the Monty'man blend personal anecdotes with Bill W.'s wisdom, offering listeners a unique perspective on AA's evolution.

This episode is more than just a history lesson; it's an invitation to reflect on how AA's traditions and service impact both individuals and the fellowship as a whole.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for years, Chris and the Monty'man's heartfelt reflections provide valuable insights into the enduring legacy of Alcoholics Anonymous. So, if you're curious about how a single event in 1955 helped shape the future of AA, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to 'Take 12 Recovery Radio' and join Chris S. and the Monty'man as they walk you through the language of the heart.
