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.
Matt – What convinced us we were powerless over alcohol?
Step One – We admitted we were powerless over alcohol – that our lives had become unmanageable.

Meeting followed by supper & fellowship.
With the increasing use of AI in adminstration, research and policy formation at all levels of AA Service across the nation, and growing reports of AI being used as a “sponsor” and in various other ways in the recovery process, we, the members of AA have not yet “found voice” to express our suggestions on the use of AI in AA. For some, it is a step too far, for others a lesson in openmidedness and for other a simple administrative tool that can give better outcomes in understanding and carrying the message. Come along, have a listen, have a suggestion, have an idea?
