Summary

Bob A was sober 44 years at the time he passed away, his experience in recovery led him to an approach to the steps based in dealing with ego and self and carrying the message of twelve step recovery. Over the years he led many retreats and workshops. This is part 3 of a 5 part series hosted in Culver City. This ends abruptly. There is a group called Prime Time in Los Angeles California that bases their (in-person and zoom) meetings around his approach to the steps. https://primetimeisnow.com If you have any AA or Al-Anon event coming up let me know I am happy to help get the word out. https://scast.us/event Email: sobercast@gmail.com Support Sober Cast: https://sobercast.com/donate AA Event List: https://scast.us/event If you have an AA roundup, retreat, convention or workshop coming up, we would be happy to give you a shout out here on the podcast and list the event on the Sober Cast website.
