Wesley talks about AA as deflation at depth, an inside job that starts with the steps but has to keep growing through unity and service. After years sober, with his family, business, and life restored, he began taking credit for what God and AA had done, skipped one regular meeting, felt ignored, and slowly slid into complacency, apathy, and dependence on himself. In this AA talk, Wesley explains how the traditions brought him back to the full program of recovery, unity, and service, and why he believes the Big Book, the Twelve and Twelve, AA Comes of Age, and As Bill Sees It are the basic tools that keep an alcoholic connected to the solution.
