Summary

Chip B is from Destin Florida, he got sober in 1987, he is speaking at the Broken Elevator meeting on the topic of: Have I Had A Spiritual Awakening? This was recorded on May of 2022 and was a Zoom meeting. I also have a little help request today for a bit of "old" tech, I'm looking for a cassette player.
