Contribute to Central Office
A Central Office, by AA tradition, exists primarily as a service organization and is often the first point of contact for many who believe they may have a drinking problem. Your contributions help pay for rent, phone and internet, office supplies, copier rental, answering service, stamps and postage, and payroll for the office manager. For complete Profit & Loss statement, see the Mountain Doin’s which is posted each month on aancmco.org & ashevilleaa.org
Mountain Doin’s the newsletter with all the news that’s of interest to our local community is available at https://md.aancmco.org
The AA Grapevine Half-Hour Variety Hour
AA members Don, Olis and Sam interview other AA members about their experience, strength, and hope in recovering from alcoholism. Expect both humor and inspiration as these AA members share their stories.
Geoff, whose article appears in the March 2026 issue of Grapevine Magazine, shares with Don and Sam about starting drinking early, and though this behavior got him in trouble, he was always eager for the next time he could drink. Geoff says that college didn’t work because he was always at the bar. He describes how his alcoholism talked to him, and how sponsorship saved him when he was going down the wrong road. Geoff’s life today is filled with love and fellowship. There’s also a preview of the new season of Our Primary Purpose, the official podcast of the General Service Office.
While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses. Grapevine is the only AA entity that does not accept direct contributions, so to support the AA Grapevine Podcast, please subscribe to Grapevine Magazine in print, online, or on the Grapevine app. You can also provide a subscription to someone in need through our “Carry the Message” program or purchase books or other items at aagrapevine.org/store
You can email us at podcast@aagrapevine.org. To record an Ask-It-Basket question or a recovery-related joke, call 212-870-3418 or email a voice recording to podcast@aagrapevine.org
North Carolina Mountain Central Office is open for business! Our telephone is staffed 24/7 and we can make arrangements to meet your literature and other needs during our regular business hours: 10:00 am-1:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
