Summary

Greg, whose article "A Well-Made Bed" appears in the January 2025 issue of Grapevine magazine, tells Don and Olis about getting to AA with the help of a patient twelfth stepper. Greg shares a bit of history about the beginnings of his home group — the Princeton Alternative Group in New Jersey. We learn Greg's take on the secret to being "cool," and one difference between alcoholics and non-alcoholics. Terry talks about the benefits of Grapevine both in print and digital formats, and Don shares about Grapevine's Carry the Message project. While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses.
