Season one has been very informative. A lot of my thoughts about the AA program have changed after listening to these. I usually hear about AA from people who are making excuses about why they don't want to go, and a lot of the people who are members can be very private about it so having a public resource is fantastic

Timely, my sponsor and I are going to be learning about AA and service history this year. I posted the link to the podcast in our group chats and to tribe members. Thanks for doing this podcast! Looking forward to the next episode. See you in Vancouver at the International convention in July 2025.
