Anyone, Anywhere [Season 9, Episode 20]

David tells Don and Sam about coming into AA in 1986. He was struck by being told to keep coming back — no one had invited him back anywhere for years. The men in the group took him to multiple meetings a day, and stayed with him constantly; David explains why. David learned that going through tough times gives us wisdom to help others. The three discuss a question in A Newcomer Asks. Nikki talks about the Carry the Message program from Grapevine and La Viña.
