Summary

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.

0:43.7	discuss the AA traditions.
0:46.9	I like this idea because if you know it's been impossible for Lois and me to travel extensively

1:38.6	As every AA knows, we shall always be threatened by menacing forces within and certainly
1:48.0	in the world of great power in which we live today by menacing forces without.
