March 21, 2025 – On today’s Friday 8 O’Clock Buzz, host Andy Moore speaks with Phil Saunders from 511 Alano Society, one of the oldest Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) clubhouses in the world, serving Madison since 1943.
Wisconsin’s binge drinking culture and its consistently high rankings as the drunkest state in the country make the work of organizations like 511 Alano Society more important than ever. Phil shares what happens at an AA meeting, the importance of anonymity, and the commitment required for sobriety. He also discusses how stress contributes to excessive drinking and what steps people can take if they’re considering joining AA but feel intimidated by the process.
As times get more stressful, resources like AA remain crucial for those seeking support. 511 Alano Society continues its long-standing tradition of helping people reclaim their lives—one meeting at a time.
