1
00:00:06,660 --> 00:00:08,790
- The message of Alcoholics Anonymous.

2
00:00:08,790 --> 00:00:10,860
Well, this is where it all happens.

3
00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:12,600
What you have to look forward to is a huge

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,250
party because it works.

5
00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:15,480
It just works.

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,690
In case fellows suffering,
alcoholic needs it, we have it.

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,150
Our primary purpose is a podcast
about Alcoholics Anonymous

8
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:27,270
and is produced by the AA
General Service Office in the

9
00:00:27,270 --> 00:00:28,860
US and Canada.

10
00:00:28,860 --> 00:00:31,530
We'll be exploring how
the General Service Office

11
00:00:31,530 --> 00:00:34,320
or GSO supports the AA members

12
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,050
and groups who carry
the AA message to those

13
00:00:37,050 --> 00:00:41,430
who need it most, which
is our primary purpose.

14
00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:44,430
We'll share some rare audio
straight from the GSO archives.

15
00:00:44,430 --> 00:00:46,830
It's a wonderful organization, fellows,

16
00:00:46,830 --> 00:00:49,950
and I'm proud to have this
opportunity to tell you

17
00:00:49,950 --> 00:00:53,695
how it works that are people
from all walks of life

18
00:00:53,695 --> 00:00:56,880
can find a home in Alcoholics Anonymous.

19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,490
And when you get into the
guts of the office over there,

20
00:00:59,490 --> 00:01:01,830
you'll begin to see how
important that has been.

21
00:01:01,830 --> 00:01:03,330
Share what it's like to work here.

22
00:01:03,330 --> 00:01:06,330
I always say this desk has
spiritually rearranged me.

23
00:01:06,330 --> 00:01:08,430
It was deeply meaningful.

24
00:01:08,430 --> 00:01:11,430
It's not just a department,
it's an attitude

25
00:01:11,430 --> 00:01:13,470
and hear from some of our visitors from

26
00:01:13,470 --> 00:01:17,970
around the world actually
being here makes me feel even

27
00:01:17,970 --> 00:01:19,440
more connected.

28
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,620
We just have more
appreciation for the program.

29
00:01:22,620 --> 00:01:25,740
This is what enables us
to have the literature

30
00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:28,232
where I saw my solution
and I understood it,

31
00:01:28,232 --> 00:01:30,030
but I didn't see it
and now I can see it.

32
00:01:30,030 --> 00:01:31,830
We'll take you on a virtual tour

33
00:01:31,830 --> 00:01:35,430
and bring you exclusive
access to the GSO archives.

34
00:01:35,430 --> 00:01:36,840
So what have we got in the back?

35
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,330
So this is an area that we
don't normally take visitors

36
00:01:39,330 --> 00:01:43,290
into, but for you, you
do not want to miss this.

37
00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:46,170
