  • Sobriety involves more than just attending meetings; it requires action.

  • Personal experiences can transform into valuable assets for helping others.
  • Engaging in AA traditions and concepts can deepen understanding and commitment.
"This bread when cast upon the waters always comes back cake."
Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? In this lively episode of 'Alcoholics Alive!', hosts Shank and Wayne tackle the phrase 'Keep Coming Back' with their signature blend of humour and insight. They discuss the often-heard AA slogan, questioning its impact and whether it might sometimes substitute for meaningful action. Listeners are treated to a delightful mix of light-hearted banter and serious reflection as they explore how sobriety can be both fun and fulfilling.
Shank shares an amusing story about 'heavy metal' medallions at AA meetings, while Wayne reflects on how his perspective on life changed after getting sober. The duo also reads from the Alcoholics Anonymous book, reminding us that sobriety is not just about attending meetings but involves a deeper commitment to change. With anecdotes, poems, and a touch of nostalgia, this episode encourages listeners to consider their own journeys and the slogans they encounter along the way.
