Stick with the
Winners! shows step-by-step how to establish or modify A.A. or Christian
Recovery meetings which include information on the roles played by God, His Son
Jesus Christ, and the Bible in early A.A. It answers: (1) “How can we conduct
12-Step meetings that both honor A.A.’s existing Traditions, Steps, and
techniques, and at the same time allow us to talk about Jesus and the Bible?” (2)
“What do we do when someone says, ‘No, you can’t talk about Jesus or the Bible
at an A.A. meeting’?” (3) “How can we organize, list, and hold an A.A. meeting
using studies of A.A. history, the Christian origins of A.A., the “old-school”
program of Akron A.A., and the foundational tools of today’s Twelve Step Fellowships?” (4) “How can our
12-Step group persuade newcomers that it is important for them to know and try
to apply today the principles and practices of First Century Christianity, described
in the Book of Acts, and used by the early A.A. ‘Christian fellowship’ in
Akron?” Stick with the Winners!
suggests: Begin with A.A. General Service Conference-approved literature that actually
tells about and endorses “old-school” A.A., such as The Co-Founders of Alcoholics Anonymous pamphlet and DR. BOB and the Good Oldtimers. Share
the informative statements about early A.A. that are already in print and
available today from Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc., and from the AA Grapevine. Then it shows how, with
God’s help, to organize, format, resource, and conduct your real early “old-school”
A.A. meeting.
