Summary

Sandy is the leader of this workshop covering the first three steps, this is part one of a five part series where he goes through all 12 steps steps. For those of you unfamiliar with Sandy he was a hugely popular AA speaker, during his time. Part 2 of 4 I was thinking of adding a forum or discord so folks can discuss the speaks or whatever sober related. It would be private, I want to know if you would be into that? I put a survey up to get your opinion and would be very grateful if you would take the one question survey. https://scast.us/discuss The Southern States Women's Conference is coming up in Florida at the end of this month and space is still available. https://scast.us/sswc I also just added the South Carolina State Convention to the event list, coming up in March. https://scast.us/regscstate Also 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/events Email: sobercast@gmail.com Support Sober Cast: https://sobercast.com/donate AA Event List: https://scast.us/events 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.

0:24.6	And we have a lot of new people here today and I'll just briefly mention that
0:31.1	preamble is a quick reminder of what this organization is and
0:35.1	what everybody is doing here this morning and I've come to look at it as a very simple fact

0:47.0	And namely to stay sober and happy at the same time.
0:51.0	And I'm one who believes that this is an essential ingredient in long-term sobriety, and if you're NAA and you're not happy, you're doing it wrong.
1:01.0	It's that simple, and it puts it on your back to figure that out and to get a
