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 from mid 2019. Lastly if you are in the PNW check out the event listed below.
There is some Q & A at the back end of this workshop, some of the comments are difficult to hear...fyi

It felt like a while since we have had a speaker from the past and I started looking through my archives and found this speak by a man named Clyde D. Clyde is from El Monte California and is telling his story at the NCCAA Fall Conference in Fresno California in October of 1969 (for a 1969 recording the audio quality is remarkable).

This one may not be for everyone just because of the sound, there is a bit of a hollow sound to it, along with a slight echo. I think its very listenable, it cleaned up pretty well for something recorded at founders day in Akron Ohio in 1965. We have Bruce M sharing about AA and some of his story, he got sober in 1945.

This is an interesting speak by Chris S, he goes through Bills Story in the Big Book to a great degree line by line. He also contrasts it from earlier versions that never made it into the published version of the big book. I dont know exactly where or when this was recorded other than it was a Founders Day Tribute held sometime in 2013.

The second speak, at the Mayflower Hotel in Akron Ohio is about how the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous was written, the project and the actual writing and then how the Big Book was first printed and published. Repost from early 2017.

This recording is mostly Bill W speaking at the third annual International AA convention held in Long Beach California in 1960, along the way he introduces Lois, Ebby and Sister Ignatia. Each takes the mic for a bit at their introduction, also Bill tells a good bit of his story along with information about the creation of AA. The overall quality of this recording is excellent it cleaned up really well, there a few audio artifacts but its an easy listen.

This one was a bit of a bear, it is a pretty well known speak called "The Chalk Talk" it was presented many times by Father Joe and there are many versions of it around. The hard part was finding one that didnt have truly awful sound. I spent well over an hour working on this audio and I think it is quite listenable now.
Father Joe got sober in 1958 at The Guest House, it was founded and operated by Austin R, who came across a copy of the Saturday Evening Post article on Alcoholics Anonymous. As a result of the article Austin R began his journey of recovery through AA, eventually opening The Guest House. Father Joe met Austin on his first day at The Guest House, he also was introduced to Dr. Walter G, himself a recovering alcoholic. Dr. G was the first to talk about the intellect and the emotion and how drugs and alcohol cause the emotions to over-rule the intellect.
Father Joe deeply admired Austin and was so impressed with Dr. G's lectures, that he saved his notes and 14 years later would use them as the source of his famous "Chalk Talks". The occasional clicking you hear in this speak are the source of the name, as Father Joe is writing on the chalk board. No clue where or when this particular one was recorded.
Im not sure why it took me so long to post anything by Father Joe, but I have well over 50 speaks by him, email me if you are interested in hearing more from him.
