Light Into Dark Places - Charlie C 2006

My “Light Into Dark Places” series is to pay tribute to the speakers who carried light into my very, very dark years. Many don't resonate with me today, which is fine. I don't need them today like I did 13 years ago. In gratitude, I want to share their stories with you.

Tradition Study - Tradition Eleven - Spiritual Principle of Anonymity

We're back! We had a great discussion on Tradition Eleven.

Tradition 11 of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) says, "Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films." Al-Anon includes the addition, "We need guard with special care the anonymity of all AA members."1

Light Into Dark Places - Earl H 2004

Ear H was by far the most important AA speaker during those dark night of the soul years. I was able to call him on the phone and we chatted for a few minutes. He understood loneliness, hopelessness, spiritual isolation, and rage. If I ever felt like I was too broken (which was daily if not hourly), I could listen to Earl and know that I wasn't.
