AA sucks

Surprise! Not everybody likes 12-step programs. This episode features someone we found who has some mild contempt for the program and the people in it. The sound quality is a little sketchy which has never stopped us before. Also, this is raw feed from a rehearsal because our guest did not return our calls or show up for the final broadcast. Still, I was able to stitch together an episode by jumping in with some comments occasionally. Personally, I find it entertaining but, as usual, our audience will be the final arbiter.

Talking About Drugs in AA Meetings

Cal is all by himself for this podcast and the subject is talking about drugs at an AA meeting. Seems he copped a resentment after concluding his "pitch" when someone with long term sobriety -- for which he has great respect -- told him, "I think you talked too much about drugs". So let's hash this out. Drug addiction is detailed in the literature of AA. In the book Alcoholics Anonymous, drug use is mentioned as part of the alcoholic’s experience. Examples are in the chapter ‘Doctor, Alcoholic, Addict’, written by member Paul O, and in chapter two, ‘There is a Solution’, p.22, in relation to the description of the so called ‘real alcoholic’. Bill W describes at length the alcoholic’s tendency to misuse other drugs in his 1945 Grapevine article entitled ‘Those Goof Balls’, p.103 – 105, ‘The Language Of The Heart’. If you have any opinions on the subject please post them to our Facebook page @SquirrelCageAA. Oh, one more thing: The recording kinda sucks and so we fixed it as best as we could. Hey, what do you expect for free? Nonetheless, tell your friends!

AA Speaker: John Mc. 30+ years sober, Los Angeles.

This is one of the few times we'll upload a drunk-a-logue instead of a discussion/interview. It's a pretty damned good story, though, so we think you'll like it. Be advised that the recording quality is poor because it was conference call recorded on a microphone leaned against a cell phone speaker. Despite the poor quality you're brain should get used to it in short order -- and you'll find it nowhere else. We'll be back next time with "Stuff We Don't Like About 12 Step Programs." Don't forget to follow us on Facebook and/or Twitter to be notified about upcoming episodes; leave comments or questions for possible inclusion in future episodes too!

The Woman's Experience

Only 20% of membership in AA are female. And most folks agree that men and woman are difference; not better or worse, but different. So what is the AA experience like for women? How do men treat them? How do women treat them for that matter. All this and more. (NOTE: Unfortunately there is an irritating scratchy-buzzy noise about 1/3 of the way through for about 3 minutes. If you can make it through there, you're home free. Thanks for your patience.)

Sober Horse Thieves

AA is only as good as the people who attend. It's also a reflection of the outside world i.e. there are good people & there are horse thieves. It's sometimes called "disruptive behavior," but what is it? What to do about it? Two guys mull this over.

Anonymity

Three sober guys discuss Tradition 12. It's more interesting than it sounds.
