Workshop: Joe and Charlie Big Book in one file - 12 hours

The Joe and Charlie Big Book workshops have been popular for many years and it was one of my first posts.  I went looking for the latest version I could find and came across this one from 2013, it has great audio quality and I have combined all the files into one 12 hour workshop. 

A little background on the workshops:

In 1977, some AA members met in a Tulsa, Oklahoma hotel room for a discussion on The Big Book. One member asked Joe and Charlie to come to his home group to present a program on The Big Book. A taping of that presentation was made and called "The Big Book Study". Through the circulation of these audio tapes throughout the Fellowship, Joe and Charlie received invitations to present the Study at AA conventions, roundups and special events.

At the AA International Convention in New Orleans in 1980, Wesley P, organized a lunch for 1,500 AA members from all over the world and gave away 100 Joe & Charlie tape sets as door prizes. Invitations exploded, and within a couple of years Joe & Charlie were presenting about 36 seminars a year worldwide. These seminars struck a deep chord within the AA members.

Workshop: Tim M - How To Sponsor Someone Through Steps 8-11 (Part 2 of 3) 4 hrs

How To Sponsor Someone Through Steps 8-11 (Part 2 of 3) 4 hrs

Tim M does an impressive job leading this workshop that was held over 17 sessions on the topic of: How To Sponsor Someone Through The Steps. I have broken these down into 3 parts to go up over 3 days. Tim takes the lead for the first 45 min of each session, after that he takes questions from the participants. Recorded from the end of July to the middle of November in 2021, also a quick thanks to Tim for his help in getting these out to you.

This was recorded over zoom so the audio quality is very good, however there are a few zoom dropouts. There was also good deal of dead air during the Q & A, I have gone through all the audio removing a much of that as possible along with balancing the audio levels. Since this has multiple sessions on each episode I added a very brief click track between the sessions to help you differentiate them.

Part 1: Steps 1-7 ( Six Hours )

Steps 1-3 each get an hour, Step 4 gets 2 hours and then Tim covers steps 5-7 in the last hour.

Part 2: Steps 8-11 (Four Hours)

Each Step is covered for about an hour

Part 3: Step 12 and Two Additional Topics (Seven Hours)

Step 12 is covered over 5 hours and then we move into two additional topics: Sponsoring Relapsing Sponsees and Games We Play With Sponsors each of those are about an hour and those two may not be in the correct sequence but it seemed the best place to put them.
