0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Sobercast, where we provide A.A. Speaker Meetings and workshops in podcast format.
0:12.7	We're an ad-free podcast, and if you enjoy listening, please help us be self-supporting by visiting Sobercast.com, look for the link, and drop a dollar or two into our virtual
0:21.7	basket. We hope you enjoyed the podcast. Have a great day. This is our second meeting of an eight-part
0:30.4	series called Expanding God's Consciousness. So let me start off by saying I'm an alcoholic.
0:39.5	A member of a group called Agape, that's from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and my name is John. Let me just share
0:47.5	what a joy it is to be with you this evening. It really is. I'm just excited to be with it.
0:53.4	I look forward and I'm excited to see how the
0:57.1	spirit will move us tonight. It's always great for me to witness and to hear and I have people

1:59.5	and noticing the presence of God within us and around us in the midst.
2:08.6	And tonight, we're going to be looking at this step three, particularly, as we really transition to a new way of living.
2:23.3	So as I've already been mentioned, but I'll mention it myself, is that we created an Instagram account for everybody to join.
2:31.3	And Mickey's been so kind to put it in the chat column. Now, what is the reason for it?
2:38.6	You know, how often have I, in my 50 years of sobriety, I went to a meeting and got inspired by a
2:45.0	speaker and went home and I actually didn't do anything other than I was entertained?
