Memorable quotes
I listened to Joe C.’s podcast and I really liked his work, and his podcast helped shape my views of how I view AA. He helped me find my place in AA as a secular person. – John S.
I didn’t want people to think about AA Beyond Belief as my website. I wanted it to belong to the community. I wanted to create something that would live on regardless of who was involved with it. – John S.
