popular cultures in the 20th-century United States
the culture of addiction and recovery.

Dr. Travis writes, and blogs about self-help, "mental hygiene," and alcoholic equalitarianism, and her current project is tentatively titled "Feminists on Drugs: A History." Trysh has presented to AA History Lovers and been a guest on Rebellion Dogs Radio, talking about the history of women in AA. In 2009, her first book was published, The Language of the Heart: 12-Step Recovery from AA to Oprah Winfrey
Sunday morning at the International Conference of Secular AA, Trysh Travis talked about AA in the age of polarization. She looked at critiques of AA from within and without, both the conservative and liberal talking points. Finally, she asked the ICSAA crowd, what's next, and how do we see AA's future?

Secular AA is AA sobriety that is neither religious nor irreligious, focusing on the practical, humanist tools of Alcoholics Anonymous and borrowed from the wider recovery community. Secular AA is a growing subculture within AA, offering 100 agnostic/atheist/freethinkers AA meetings every day + regional events and the International Conference of Secular AA (ICSAA).
