Summary

Yesterday we had a workshop on the 12 steps and I thought it might be fitting to feature the same, but on the 12 traditions. So, today we have Bob D leading a workshop on the 12 Traditions one by one. He makes some interesting points in relation to speakers and anonymity on the internet, but keep in mind this was recorded in 2003. There is about 3 seconds missing between part one and two at approx. 1:06ish. Here at Sober Cast I try to beep any last name I hear including Bill W's regardless of how well known it is at this point. If you ever hear a last name (it occasionally happens) please use drop me an email with the episode title and about the time in the recording you heard it, thank you .

0:49.8	to me that I'm asked to talk on something that I was kind of opposed to when I got here,
0:56.7	the 12 traditions, it was, I was like that guy in the treasure of Sierra Madre, traditions,
1:03.0	we don't need those thinking traditions, you know, I that kind of attitude when I got
