at Fifth Anniversary of Freedom Through Action Group Scottsdale, AZ ~ December 10, 2004 12 Tracks ~ 56 Minutes Clancy talks about a few AA Topics. After a few preliminary remarks he talks about the importance of IDENTIFICATION. How drinking Alcoholics become so accustomed to getting "well meaning advice" that they automatically tune it out. Points out that Bill Dotson AA Number 3 recovered not as a result of advice but because he identified with Bill and Dr Bobs stories. He talks about Anonymity, and explains that Anonymity breakers try to "help AA". This is it's fundamental problem AA helps alcoholics and disaster usually follows the switching of those roles. Towards the end of the talk he discusses the somewhat controversial subject of Anti-Depressants and other like Meds. He makes some very interesting remarks which cannot be sufficiently explained in this brief description. Other topics are touched on; there is no drunkalogue; It's a talk about AA, and recovery in AA.
