The Fun and Folly of AA Slogans
Episode Overview
The phrase 'Keep Coming Back' is often used in AA but may lack depth. Sobriety involves more than just attending meetings; it requires action. Humour and fun can play a significant role in the recovery process. Personal experiences can transform into valuable assets for helping others. Engaging in AA traditions and concepts can deepen understanding and commitment.
