Summary

Father Terry (an AA member) conducts a Womens Retreat held in Oregon at an unknown event and time, Father Terry is focused here on Steps 1 and 2 Powerlessness & Insanity. This ends a little abruptly as he is wrapping up. Repost from 2020. I just added a Mens Retreat to the events list hosted in Burton Ohio 4/26-28. It is about 45 min from Akron if you want to do a little side trip and the camp looks like a great place.

Hi, Terry.

0:30.0

And I welcome everybody here.

0:32.0

I was one of the last ones here. I guess everybody comes from the coast.

0:37.0

But everybody came from bed you got you met a semi across the road for three hours anyway.

and deep spiritual change in everybody in this room right now.
