  • Don ruins this for me

    I can’t really listen to this podcast anymore because of Don. He always bothered me because of how over the top he is. Nothing he says has ever felt genuine. But recently met a couple of people who are in the same sober community as Don and they said that he has become a destructive influence. They said he talks a good game but stopped doing the work and living these principles years ago, that he has caused a lot harm to newcomers by judging, playing god, and flat out breaking AA traditions. And... more

  • Great introduction to AA

    Thanks Grapevine for a great podcast! I loved getting to hear stories from so many people about what their life was like before they found AA, and after. So many different perspectives.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Struck Sober [Season 11, Episode 6]
Q: What is the origin of the 12 steps according to the sources referenced in the episode?
The steps evolved from the original six-step version, expanding to smaller pieces and broader scope to prevent rationalization, with Bill W. discovering twelve through writing and counting, tied to historical sources from the July 1953 Grapevine article and related materials.
Struck Sober [Season 11, Episode 6]
Q: Why did Bill decide on 12 steps?
Bill didn't decide; he worked through the process, counted the steps after writing them on a yellow tablet, and found twelve as a natural fit, aligning with numerology and the idea of closing exits to rationalization.
Mother Earth, Father Sky, God & Me [Season 11, Episode 5]
Q: Why did you start drinking again after stopping earlier in life?
He reflects that when life seemed to come back together, he tested drinking again, only to realize AA offered a more sustainable path and a higher power to rely on.
Mother Earth, Father Sky, God & Me [Season 11, Episode 5]
Q: What did you drink?
Ronnie explains that beer was his drink of choice at the end, after trying rum, and that alcohol served as a way to cope with emotions, but ultimately led to a darker place before seeking AA.
Hi Marissa, It's Jack [Season 11, Episode 4]
Q: How long do you need sobriety to sponsor someone?
More than the person you're sponsoring has, with the expectation that they've gone through the steps and you've moved beyond trying to prove yourself; readiness comes from having a stable sobriety and willingness to help others.
