"Serenity is like a gyroscope that lets us keep our balance no matter what turbulence swirls around us."
This episode of Alcoholics Alive! dives into the nitty-gritty of AA pamphlets and their true value. Shank and Wayne, your hosts, have a chat about whether these pamphlets are necessary or just a distraction from the primary purpose of Alcoholics Anonymous. With a sprinkle of humour, they explore the fascinating world of AA literature, questioning if the effort spent on pamphlets is justified. You'll hear about everything from 'restful convalescence' to the quirky hobbies that some members pick up post-recovery.
The episode takes a light-hearted look at topics like bridge, macrame, and bonsai, all in the name of finding new, sober activities. There's also a discussion about the financial side of AA, revealing how much revenue comes from literature sales versus group contributions. Shank and Wayne don't shy away from asking the tough questions about trust within AA and whether some agenda items at the conference are really worth the fuss.
If you're curious about how AA operates or just want to hear some good-natured banter about pamphlets, this episode is for you. It's not just about sobriety; it's about enjoying life and maybe picking up a new hobby along the way. So, what do you think? Are pamphlets a necessity or just a piece of sober shrapnel?
