Sober Cast: An (unofficial) Alcoholics Anonymous Podcast AA

Mark H and Dave F discuss how important the first step is not only to starting the program but to maintaining sobreity. There is also a discussion about working with those who relapse often.

 

Brenda J. sober 17 years, from Tampa FL. a recovering "lesbian - hispanic - catholic - alcholic - drug addict", speaking at the Womens Serenity Weekend Fall Conf. in Cocoa Beach FL. 2007.

This recording has popping sound going on, that if I removed it, made the sound way too muddled its noticable but not enough to make this unlistenable, and she is a wise, funny and humble woman with a speak that should be heard.

Karl M from Covina CA speaking at the bi-annual speaker meeting of - We Are Not a Glum Lot in 2009. He tells a great story with a lot of humor and still carries a great message.

Barry L sober in 1952 (author of the book Living Sober) speaking in 1968 on the topic of the 12 traditions.

At about the 45 min mark the quality of the recording changes a, it is still very listenable but it almost sounds like the second half is a different recording there is a moment of repetition like it was a bad splice from tape... fyi

Audrey & Julie conduct a workshop called - Sober For Keeps, this is 5.5 hours long and goes through the steps in detail following the big book page by page and then delves into the topic of sponsoring (2011). Heads up if you are watching bandwidth, this file is about 120 megs

 

Tobias with 5 years as the 10 min speaker then Catherine as the main speaker, April 2015 North Oakland Speaker Meeting. Catherine ran a little short so they brought Tobias back up to finish off the last few min

 

 

This one is not really a speaker meeting, this is a recording from 1978 of Ruth Hock, AAs 1st secretary talking about Bill W and the early history of AA and the creation of the Big Book.

I highly recommend if you are a bit of an AA history geek, and even if you are not.

There is a Q and A at the end, you cant hear the questions but most are repeated back,fyi... this ends a little abruptly when the meeting leader is calling on her sponsor Cliff. Recorded in Glendale AZ 3-12-78.

Johnny H from Los Angeles presenting a workshop on the Promises and Service, in Stockholm Sweden in 2004. This workshop is two sessions totaling just under 2 hours.

Alison A speaking at AA International 2010 in San Antonio TX at the beginners group

Annie L of Tampa Young Peoples sober in 2006, speaking in 2008 at the Thurs Nite Speakers in Clearwater FL, this ends abruptly (someone ran out of recording space) but she was wrapping up.
