Summary

This is the first part of a 4 part workshop called a Journey thru the Steps led by Don M who got sober in 1981. This was held sometime in 2003 in Daytona Florida, and thats about all I know about this event. Update: A large number of folks emailed about wanting all of this workshop, so many, that I did some quick editing and rescheduling (this ep. went live Nov 20). The full workshop was published on Nov 22, so just scroll up (or down) a little.
