Jacob, Katie and Q talk to Don and Olis about how each of them came into Alcoholics Anonymous, and then all five share their experience of going on 12-Step calls to help still-suffering alcoholics. They talk about using the guidelines found in "How it Works" in the Big Book, and about what they've each learned from doing this vital service.
