Sober Cast: An (unofficial) Alcoholics Anonymous Podcast AA

Jim B from San Diego CA got to AA in Jan of 1938 and he is speaking at an unknown event in June of 1957, this is a great talk with a lot of AA history and a bit of his story. This recording had a really nasty hum I was able to remove, but as you might guess its not the best quality being from 1957 that being said its listenable and I think worth the slightly harsh sound.

This is a workshop led by Jim K (he got sober in 1980 at 17 years old) he leads a workshop from WACYPAA15 held in Las Vegas from 2012 on the topic of The Sermon On The Mount, a book written by Emmet Fox and first published in 1935. It is one of the books used by folks in the earliest days of AA before the Big Book was written. Repost

There is some Q & A at the back end of this workshop, some of the comments are difficult to hear...fyi

This is a pretty good quality recording of AA founder Bill W, he tells his story at an unknown event held in Toronto in 1965. This had a pretty bad hum, I was able to remove but it does have a very slight echo, he was speaking in a pretty big space.

I thought this was an interesting idea for meeting at an AA convention, it is a timeline history of AA presented by AA historian Arthur S at the 2011 Texas State AA Convention.

This episode of Sober Cast is a bit of AA history, if you need to hear a meeting please pick a different episode, this is more accurately described as a bit of AA spoken history, a 1962 recording of Gene C who was 40 years sober at the time. He is speaking about the topic I dont hear much about anymore, the “Four Absolutes” of Alcoholics Anonymous.

The four absolutes were considered yardsticks in earliest days of the recovery program and come from the Oxford Group. If you would like to learn a bit more about them this is a good starting point (http://silkworth.net/pages/aahistory/fourabsolutes1.php).

This episode of Sober Cast is not an AA speaker, if you need to hear a meeting please pick a different episode, this is a bit of AA history. 

The June 24th episode of Sober Cast was Bill B telling his story, he was the author of the screenplay for the 1989 movie My Name is Bill W., as the author of the screenplay he spent considerable time interviewing Lois W. the wife of Bill W.

This Sober Cast consists of the three hours of interviews that he did with Lois regarding her life with Bill and the formation AA . It is a really excellent quality recording of Lois speaking in great detail about her life before and after Bill got sober and became the co-founder of AA.  

My thanks to all of you that emailed and requested we add this to the podcast.
