Right now, we look ahead to 2024. Freethinkers in Orlando Alcoholics Anonymous are preparing to host the International Conference of Secular AA. This will mark ten years since our first International gathering of AA, for and by atheists and agnostics.
This show is a replay of Episode IX - highlights of the first ever We Agnostics & Freethinkers International A.A. Conference from Santa Monica California, November 6th to 8th, 2014.
Rebellion Dogs Radio # 9 includes segments from the keynotes given and a snap-shot of what was happening ten year ago, as all AA eyes were drawn to Los Angeles, historians, nonbelievers in recovery from addiction, fundamentalist AA's who overtly opposed Atheist/Agnostic AA at this critical juncture and the greater addiction/recovery community.
On the trip, I was one of several members who came a day early to visit the Pacific Group on the Wednesday night, to see what all the fuss was about. I stayed a day longer to visit my first (the first) Refuge Recovery meeting in LA.
Depending when you're listening to this, some of the Orlando ICSAA 2024 host committee will be sharing their recovery stories and updating us about the upcoming conference on the monthly ICSAA First Sunday International secular speakers Zoom Meeting January 7, 11 AM Pacific, 2 PM East, 7 PM UK/IE, 8 PM Central Europe. A link (if you missed it) to the ICSAA podcast can be found below. Registration for ICSAA 2024 is now open.
It's been a helluva decade.
