Widening the Doorway — The Plain Language Big Book [Season 10, Episode 20]

Melody and Eric join Don and Sam to share their experience, strength and hope in recovery from alcoholism, and their recent experience with the Plain Language Big Book. Melody says even as an atheist she cried out to whatever alien to please stop her drinking, and she then accidentally ended up in an AA meeting. Eric says he came in wanting to stand out rather than fit in, and that he's been reading Grapevine since he stole his first issue. In the Ask it Basket Sam M. (no relation) has a question about the Plain Language Big Book. Don, Sam, Melody and Eric discuss the new book, and we also hear from Phillip, Kenneth, Chelsea and Stephanie. Julie shares about her role as Grapevine Chair in her district.
