Talking About Drugs in AA Meetings
Manage episode 342560633 series 3150064
Cal is all by himself for this podcast and the subject is talking about drugs at an AA meeting. Seems he copped a resentment after concluding his "pitch" when someone with long term sobriety -- for which he has great respect -- told him, "I think you talked too much about drugs". So let's hash this out.
Drug addiction is detailed in the literature of AA. In the book Alcoholics Anonymous, drug use is mentioned as part of the alcoholic’s experience. Examples are in the chapter ‘Doctor, Alcoholic, Addict’, written by member Paul O, and in chapter two, ‘There is a Solution’, p.22, in relation to the description of the so called ‘real alcoholic’. Bill W describes at length the alcoholic’s tendency to misuse other drugs in his 1945 Grapevine article entitled ‘Those Goof Balls’, p.103 – 105, ‘The Language Of The Heart’.
