Sober Cast: An (unofficial) Alcoholics Anonymous Podcast AA

Tom Tuesday: Tom I and Sandy B - Primary Purpose History (2.5 Hours)

First thing, apology to those of you that expected to hear Tom Tuesday last week and it did not happen, that was a scheduling error on my part.

Tom and Sandy B are sharing the podium on the topic of AA Structure Primary Purpose History. No information about where or when this was recorded, you can expect me to say that a lot in this series. Couple of tech notes this ends abruptly but they were clearly wrapping up. The questions in the Q&A were hard to hear, I did manage to amplify them but they will sound a little hollow. 

Tom has long been a highly regarded speaker in AA. The podcast will be featuring  "Tom Tuesday" until we run through his library. 

 

Tom I became sober at the age of 28, attending an AA meeting in a maximum-security prison. He had been sentenced there after he killed two teenagers during a blackout. Upon his release he dedicated his life to carrying the message of recovery to other inmates. He was the first former prisoner hired to work within the prison system. His journey eventually took him from prisoner to warden. Tom was sober over 65 years at the time of his passing in 2022.

Workshop: Steps - Sponsorship (Chris R and Peter M) 7.5 Hours

Peter M and  Chris R lead this workshop with a focus on sponsorship at (I think) the RTR conference held in November of 2007. This runs about 7.5 hours. I know next to nothing about this event, both of these guys are very popular speakers and both have spoken all over the world at AA events.

ESH: Three Fellowships - Alateen - Al-Anon - AA

I thought this was an interesting idea for a meeting: Three Fellowships - First we have Lucy from Alateen followed by Steve from Alanon and then Bud M (sober in 1983) from AA. I dont know a lot about this meeting other than it was recorded sometime in June of 2011, somewhere in the UK.
