AA audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's term is AA — a noun and abbreviation, spelled out letter by letter, ay-ay, IPA /ˌeɪˈeɪ/.
Narrator: AA stands for Alcoholics Anonymous — a worldwide fellowship of people who help one another stay sober and recover from alcohol addiction.
Narrator: It was founded in 1935 in Akron, Ohio, by two men known as Bill W. and Dr Bob, who found they could stay sober by supporting each other.
Narrator: AA is built on its famous Twelve Steps, a programme of recovery, and on the principle of anonymity — members protect each other's privacy.
Narrator: At an AA meeting, people share their stories honestly and without judgement, often guided by a sponsor — a more experienced member.
Narrator: You read it aloud as the two letters — ay-ay — and a member might simply say, I go to AA.
Narrator: The register is neutral and respectful — common in health, recovery, and everyday conversation about addiction.
Narrator: Close terms include support group and fellowship, but AA names this specific, anonymous recovery community.
Narrator: AA — two quiet letters standing for one of the world's great fellowships of recovery and hope.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: A friend of mine just celebrated a year sober — he says AA completely changed his life.
Speaker B: That's wonderful. AA — Alcoholics Anonymous — is that fellowship where people support each other to stay off alcohol, one day at a time.
Speaker A: I always say the letters out — ay-ay. Is that right?
Speaker B: Exactly right. You spell it out, ay-ay. It's an initialism — you'd say, I'm going to an AA meeting tonight, not blend it into a word.
Speaker A: And the anonymous part is taken seriously, isn't it?
Speaker B: Very. Anonymity is at the heart of AA — what's shared in a meeting stays there. It's why people feel safe enough to be honest.
Speaker A: What's the difference between AA and just any support group?
Speaker B: A support group is the broad idea — any gathering of people with a shared struggle. AA is one specific fellowship, focused on alcohol, built on the Twelve Steps. AA is a kind of support group, not the other way round.
Speaker A: So AA is the specific one, support group is the general term.
Speaker B: Precisely. And spelling — two capital A's, A-A, no full stops needed.
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Let's look at how AA works in AI prompts. As a recovery community it's great for meeting finders, sobriety trackers, and support apps.
Speaker A: AA as the subject — building respectful tools around recovery?
Speaker B: Exactly, and tone matters here. First prompt — a meeting finder:
Prompt: Build an AA meeting finder. Let users search local AA meetings by day and time, show each meeting's location on a map, and mark which AA meetings are online or in person.
Speaker B: AA names the community clearly — the AI builds a focused, respectful meeting tool.
Speaker A: The finder framing is clear. What about a tracker?
Speaker B: Here, and keep it encouraging:
Prompt: Build a sobriety tracker for someone in AA. Count days sober, celebrate each AA milestone like 30 and 90 days, and show a gentle, supportive message every morning.
Speaker A: AA milestones — lovely. For a database?
Speaker B: Try this:
Prompt: Design an AA meetings table storing name, day, time, and location, linked to a members table by ID. Keep it private and index the day so a user's AA schedule loads fast.
Speaker A: AA records, kept private — important. For the Steps?
Speaker B: Like this:
Prompt: Build a gentle guide to the AA Twelve Steps. Show one step at a time, let the user write private notes on each step, and never share their AA notes with anyone else.
Speaker A: AA steps guide — thoughtful. And a sponsor connection?
Speaker B: Here:
Prompt: Build a simple check-in between an AA member and their sponsor. Let the member send a daily I'm okay note, alert the sponsor if a check-in is missed, and keep every message private.
Speaker A: AA sponsor check-in — caring and practical.
Speaker B: Two letters for a fellowship of recovery. Use AA in a prompt for meeting finders, sobriety trackers, and supportive tools — always with a kind tone.
