Sober Cast: An (unofficial) Alcoholics Anonymous Podcast AA

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.

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 on the SoberCast.com website.

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 and the audio file is 110 megs.

Frank S, one of the first 100 members of AA, 44 years sober at the time of this speak. No info about where or when this was recorded.
