Talking About Drugs in AA Meetings

Cal is all by himself for this podcast and the subject is talking about drugs at an AA meeting.  Seems he copped a resentment after concluding his "pitch" when someone with long term sobriety -- for which he has great respect -- told him, "I think you talked too much about drugs".  So let's hash this out.  

Drug addiction is detailed in the  literature of AA. In the book Alcoholics Anonymous, drug use is mentioned as part of the alcoholic’s experience. Examples  are in the chapter ‘Doctor, Alcoholic, Addict’, written by member Paul  O, and in chapter two, ‘There is a Solution’, p.22, in relation to  the description of the so called ‘real alcoholic’. Bill W describes at  length the alcoholic’s tendency to misuse other drugs in his 1945  Grapevine article entitled ‘Those Goof Balls’, p.103 – 105, ‘The  Language Of The Heart’.

If you have any opinions on the subject please post them to our Facebook page @SquirrelCageAA.
