Discuss our troublesome relationship to AA literature, including the current GSO controversy about changing "the founders" writings. Alternate steps and the problems they bring. Can the Big Book be rejected entirely and still be AA? Is new literature like "The God Word" being made available, and are other strategies necessary? And more!

Embarking on the path to sobriety at a young age and continuing the journey into later years presents a rich tapestry of experiences, challenges, and triumphs.  This presentation brings together the stories of individuals who have embraced Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) at various stages of life. From the fresh perspectives of youth to the wisdom of older members who came into the program young, we will delve into the unique insights gained from sharing experience, strength, and hope across generations of recovering members.

This recording is from ICSAA 2024, Saturday 10:30 AM, September 21, 2024, in Orlando, Florida, led by Stephanie F.

This workshop focused on the primary dangers of broken anonymity in 12 step fellowships. Topics include the dangers of privacy breaches and how this can expose individuals to judgment or harm from employers, family, or the public. 
This breach can deter participation, erode trust among members, and lead to legal or professional consequences for affected individuals. 

Additionally, it undermines the reputation of 12 step fellowships and its effectiveness by compromising the confidentiality of members and providing a safe and supportive environment, crucial for recovery. 

Maintaining anonymity is not just a tradition but a fundamental principle designed to protect individuals and ensure the success of recovery programs.

Many of us stay involved in "traditional" AA; in fact some of us only (or at least mainly) go to such meetings and are active in AA General service. Of these, some are "out there" as unbelievers, others not so much. Some see Secular AA as an attempt to evolve the culture of the fellowship we love from within rather than any kind of alternative. Many of us don't. Let's discuss tactics, war stories, experience and explore presuppositions and challenge them.
