Sybil C had been sober for 39 years at the time of this speak, she is from of Los Angeles and is speaking on the subject of How the Traditions Were Born, a topic she lived while working in the AA office in New York at the time of their creation.
Sybil got sober in 1941 after trying for 17 years, at her first meeting she was asked to wait out in the hall because it was a closed meeting and they thought she was one of the wives, not one of the drunks, she was also the first woman AA member on the East coast. I was a bit shocked at how well this cleaned up considering how it sounded on my first listen.

This is AA founder Bill W speaking on each of the 12 traditions one at a time. I had posted a version of this in 2019, and recently came across this recording of the same speak with much better audio quality. That being said it took quite a while to get it cleaned up and it was missing the last 4 min. so I added the missing part from another copy . The quality is excellent except for the very end, this audio is from a film that was intended to be shown in AA meetings. I dont know exactly when it was made but it was after Dr Bob's death.

Yesterday we had a workshop on the 12 steps and I thought it might be fitting to feature the same, but on the 12 traditions. So, today we have Bob D leading a workshop on the 12 Traditions one by one.
He makes some interesting points in relation to speakers and anonymity on the internet, but keep in mind this was recorded in 2003. There is about 3 seconds missing between part one and two at approx. 1:06ish.
Here at Sober Cast I try to beep any last name I hear including Bill W's regardless of how well known it is at this point. If you ever hear a last name (it occasionally happens) please use drop me an email with the episode title and about the time in the recording you heard it, thank you .

Frankie L from Baltimore Maryland was sober 32 years at the time he gave this speak on The Traditions. I have no information about where or when this was recorded but he does mention attending meetings with Bill W, so that gives a little context for the time he became sober. Hes also a pretty intense guy, but maybe passionate is a better descriptor?

Tom I speaking on the topic of The Twelve Traditions at the 27th. Annual Music City Roundup held in Nashville TN in 2008. He takes a number of questions in the last half and it is impossible to hear them, so rather than have a lot of dead spots I cut them out, he does do a really nice job of recapping the questions, so you wont be wondering.

Yesterday we did something a little different and presented a play about the 12 traditions, so by contrast it seemed like a good idea to present a more traditional presentation about the AA traditions. This workshop is presented by Chet P (sober in 1984) at an unknown event in Daytona Beach Florida in the summer of 1999.

This one isnt a meeting per se, so if you need to hear a meeting please choose something else from our list. This is something fun and a little different, a play about the 12 Traditions of AA, from June 1987 that was put on by an unknown group in Fresno CA.

A repost from July of 2017 of a very good 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.
I am trying to find more workshops conducted by women in the program (I have many by men), if you happen to have any you can share please upload them at sobercast.com. This workshop is just over 4 hours.
