Retreat: The Power of the Program - Tom I (Part 2 of 5)

This is a very late version of the Joe and Charlie Big Book workshops recorded in 2003, the audio quality is excellent. If you have never heard a J & C workshop I would encourage you to give it a listen, there is a lot here. There is also a 4th step worksheet to accompany it, if you would like a copy you can download it from google drive here: https://scast.us/jc4th This is part 4 of 8, it jumps right in from the end of yesterdays post. Joe McQ and Charlie P met in 1973, they instantly discovered their mutual fascinations with AA's Big Book. The study they met for regularly became something they presented at meetings, eventually becoming this workshop. At the AA International Convention in New Orleans in 1980, Wesley P, organized a lunch for 1,500 AA members from all over the world and gave away 100 Joe & Charlie workshop tape sets as door prizes. Invitations exploded, and within a couple of years Joe & Charlie were presenting about 36 seminars a year worldwide. The forum is about half way set up and I should have it live sometime next week, I will post the url as soon as its done. 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.

Donna J is from Florida, she is sharing on Step 2 at the Addition By Subtraction meeting held on zoom at the end of January 2024. I just added an event that is happening very soon (9-11th) in Texas, The Texas Al-Anon Alateen Conference details here: https://scast.us/texalateen Update on the discussion survey from the last week, I was surprised by how many people responded (thank you for doing that) the vast majority were in favor of it, so I am going to move forward with it. It will be a private forum, that was in the lead by quite a bit followed by discord then a facebook group and all the rest after that. It surprised me a bit I was thinking it would be discord but it was a distant second. It will take me a couple of weeks to get it set up, forums have a million settings to tweak and Ill make it as private as I can. I will let you know as soon as its ready, again thank you.
