Summary

Earl H leads this 2 day workshop where he takes the folks attending through each of the 12 steps one by one at Columbus Isle, this was held in 2003. Earl is one of my favorite speakers, he carries a great message delivered with lots of self-deprecating humor. This was a 2 day event, this is both days combined into one audio file.
