If I'd Just Taken Suggestions [Season 8, Episode 8]

If I'd Just Taken Suggestions [Season 8, Episode 8]

Cindy spent a long time dry in AA meetings while not working the Steps, and it wasn't always pleasant. She wonders now how she did not go out. Eventually, she tells Don and Sam, she had enough and reached out for help with working the AA program of recovery. In the Ask it Basket Madeline wonders if it's OK for a newcomer to bring a friend for support to a meeting, and Jim has a question about outside contributions. On Listener Feedback Haley questions Don's interpretation of "Coat of Tan" in Bill's Story in the Big Book.

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

You can email us at podcast@aagrapevine.org. To record an Ask-It-Basket question or a recovery-related joke, call 212-870-3418 or email a voice recording to podcast@aagrapevine.org
