So, you know, I'll tell you this. When we all started to come back to meetings after COVID, I was saying the exact same thing, that there are going to be people who relapsed over COVID. They're going to be new people who've never been to a real meeting. You know, hitch up your bootstraps and get ready, you know, because we have to help.
Ever wondered what the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill W., had to say about the journey of recovery? In this episode of Take 12 Recovery Radio, Monty Dale Meyer, known as the Monty’man, and Chris S. take you on a fascinating trip through Bill W.'s Grapevine writings. These writings reveal Bill's deep love for the fellowship and his visionary thoughts on potential pitfalls and the core purpose of AA.
The discussion isn't just a historical dive; it's a reflection on how these early insights continue to shape modern recovery efforts.
