Workshop: The AA 12 Traditions (4 hrs)

A couple of days ago I was part of a meeting for a group that was trying to organize themselves into a fellowship rather than a bunch of meetings, that always brings the traditions to mind and it got me thinking about this.

A really well done workshop conducted by Norma A on the 12 Traditions. The history of, and a detailed explanation of each tradition. This workshop was given in 2014 so it also has mention of social media. Repost from early 2017.

ESH: Gemma B is a very funny woman carrying a great message.

Her dream as a child was to be a bitter drunk - her dream came true! Impending doom is not womans intuition and not everyone hates her after all. Repost of one of the earliest episodes (#18) still one of my favorites.

Patti O - A message of hope from a lady that loved sleazy bars

This is a repost of one of the first speakers we featured here on Sober Cast, I heard Patti speak live at a local meeting on a Saturday night and really loved her message of hope mixed with a great sense of humor. So I went searching and found this recording of her from a few years earlier. Repost from May of 2017

If you have any LGBTQ speaks you are willing to share with me please drop me an email, this is another area my library is a bit weak in.

Workshop: AA Beginners Class - Based on AA beginners classes popular in the 1940s (4 hrs)

AA Beginners Class: Mike takes a group all the way through the steps over a period of four weeks. This is a repost from July of 2017

This is based on AA beginners classes popular in the 1940s that were conducted by different groups of AA. I was a little fascinated by this bit of AA history I knew nothing about. I did a little research and have reprinted a lengthy article about the beginner classes here: https://scast.us/begin

There are a number of questions asked during the workshop that are impossible to hear, but the answers make most of the questions fairly clear. Recorded in 2009, this workshop is 4 hrs long.

Julie L telling her story in 2016 (LGBTQ)

Julie L from Studio City (originally from Ireland) is the main speaker at a Southern California speaker meeting held by an unknown group in May of 2016. She is a good speaker and a very funny lady (LGBTQ). Repost from 2019.

I spent a good chunk of the last week learning and tweaking the new event software I purchased for the website (Thank you so much to those of you that have donated to Sober Cast, you made that possible). I also edited the form for submitting an event to be a bit more robust, there's a bit of tweaking to do but I'm mostly there.

You can now search for AA events by date or location and automatically save an event to your calendar with one click, plus one click to download the event flyer to take to your homegroup. The events are linked directly to the venue using google maps for easy directions. View the event list: http://cduck.us/events

ESH: Pappy B experienced detoxing in a Japanese POW camp and won the CMH

Pappy B was a member of the Flying Tigers, he was awarded of the Congressional Medal of Honor and he unfortunately got to experience detoxing in a Japanese POW camp after being shot down during WWII, he spent 20 months there. He is telling his story in San Francisco in Oct of 1958 at an unknown event. His WWII story was also made into a TV show back in the 70's. Repost from early 2020.

This recording has a harsher tone to it as many older recordings do, I was able to get the background hum out but then again... 1958.
