Summary

Sandy B and Bob B lead this workshop on the topic of: There Is a Solution. I have no information about this workshop other than it was recorded in 2004. Sandy B is a very well known speaker in AA and did speaks and led workshops all over the world for many years. There is some Q & A toward the end and it is impossible to hear the questions, I removed the dead gaps of the questions so they jump right to answers, you can pretty much understand the question by the answer. About once a year I get an email asking me why in the podcast opening do I say that this "Is a podcast for men". I just got another and thought I might try to put this to rest, I am NOT saying that, I am saying "In a podcast format". When I listen to it nothing about it sounds like Im saying "for men" rather than "format" but apparently some of you hear "for men" I assure you the word is format!

Good morning everybody, my name is Sandy, I'm an alcoholic, how you all doing?

0:31.9

We flipped the coin last night and I'm going to start and then we're going to go back and

0:35.9

forth and we decided to take 10 or 15 minutes each and briefly describe our stories and

0:43.2

how we got here and then talk a little bit about the hand of God in the origins of AA.

0:54.6

Just very briefly, maybe each of our favorite stories that illustrates that.

But I had some kind of miscommunication, I had all this stuff ready on the 10th tradition.

1:17.2

So we're going to shift over to there is a solution.

1:23.4

So then when you buy the CDs you won't have the title on there and then you listen and

1:27.7

2:12.1

And I sat next to her and got terrified out of my skin.

2:17.6

And at age 8 I was sitting on the front row.

2:21.8

I studied that catechism and I had my ear yanked and you know what was going to happen to me.
