Summary

If you are fairly new to AA you may not of heard of Joe and Charlie but you will eventually. They are a pair of the much loved characters we have in AA, they have hosted 12 step workshops all over the US and the world over many years. This is the first part of one of them it runs about 90 min (it ends a bit abruptly), they always do an amazing and consistent job at explaining the big book. This is just one part but there are full versions of this on the podcast already, they always vary a little so when I get a nice recording like this one is (from 2003) I dont mind a bit of overlap. Please take a 4 question survey to help me make Sober Cast a better resource for you. http://cduck.us/sobercast Email: sobercast@gmail.com Support Sober Cast: https://sobercast.com/donate If you have an AA event coming up, we would be happy to give you a shout out as well as list the event on the Sober Cast website.
