Summary

Lyle P sober in 1990 is speaking on the topic: Together We Can Alone We Cant. He spends a good chunk of time telling his story, but if you havent heard his story its one well worth a listen. It is one of those storys that gets you thinking, you did what? This was recorded at the Magical Mystery Tour zoom meeting in January of 2022. If you are in the PNW toward the end of July I just added a Young Peoples Conference (WSCYPAA VII) taking place in Tacoma WA. If you have never been to a Young Peoples event (your age does not matter) the energy and passion of the participants never fails to impress. I spoke to someone involved in it last night and based on how enthusiastic he was this will be no exception.

This is my second meeting for the day. It was that one this morning.

And the other day when I was talking about this I thought I remember the first time I ever said my name was Lyle and I'm an alcoholic and

but I've kind of started doing just because it's a little bit different is, and I don't know how many newcomers are in this particular group.

1:26.0
