SoberQ Podcast
The SoberQ Podcast is produced by AA members here in Melbourne. Each week, we ask an AA member to answer a question about the AA program. You can listen an episode here.
Anthony E – How do I know I am an alcoholic?
Step One – We admitted we were powerless over alcohol – that our lives had become unmanageable.

We just opened registrations for the Serenity in Samford weekend being held on 22-24 November, 2024.
Samford Village is less than 30 minutes northwest of Brisbane CBD. A picturesque and hilly area, Samford was first settled in the mid-1850s and is now a place many hobby farmers call home, being one of the closest semi-rural acreage townships to Brisbane.
You can find out all the details and booking links at https://serenityinsamford.org
We’ve just released the program too, we think it’s going to be an amazingly rich weekend of fun, growth and fellowship.
