Summary

It felt like a while since we have had a good solid full length workshop so today we are getting all 12 steps presented by California Rob to the 3 Legacies Group from Winter Garden Florida in April of 2014. Rob starts at the beginning of the book and works his way to the end of the first 164 over 7.5 hours. FYI... there are a few questions asked, you will not hear well, but he does a pretty good job of recapping in his answer.

Hi everybody, my name is Rob, I'm alcoholic and by the grace of God the fellowship of

0:32.8

alcoholic synonymous, excellent sponsorship, lots and lots of service work, but mostly because

0:39.4

of the program of recovery that I found in this book, I've not found it necessary to take a drink

0:44.7

or anything that affects me from the neck up since the 7th of July 1988. If for that I'm extremely

0:50.4

grateful. And as I shared last night, you know that may not impress you, but I can assure you that

impresses my family, my friends in the California Highway Patrol. I can assure you right now.

anything with this life-saving, life-giving, life-changing program. And it doesn't matter to me whether

1:45.5

program of recovery that's in this stupid book that I never read. And somehow by a series of
