Kevin tells Don and Sam about his home group called "One Paragraph at a Time." Kevin relates how his sponsor's loving acceptance gave him a feeling of spirit that he'd never had before. He also tells how his favorite recovery song made his first sober hockey game much easier. There's a report from Patrick on the upcoming 2025 AA International Convention in Vancouver, BC; and an Ask it Basket question from Anghelov.

You're Invited to the 2025 International Convention of Alcoholics Anonymous. Please visit aa.org/international-convention for information.

While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses. Grapevine is the only AA entity that does not accept contributions, so to support the AA Grapevine Podcast, please subscribe to Grapevine Magazine in print, online, or on the Grapevine app. You can also provide a subscription to someone in need through our "Carry the Message" program or purchase books or other items at aagrapevine.org/store
