Arthur S - The History of AA

I was looking for an Al-Anon meeting and came across this meeting from December of 1978, it is an AA speaker and then an Al-Anon speaker recorded somewhere in Portland Oregon.  It opens with the AA speaker Elle telling her story, then we have Donna telling her Al-Anon story, it turns out she is a triple hitter being an Al-Anon, AA and NA member!

AA Beginners Class: Mike takes a group all the way through the steps over a period of four weeks. This is a repost from July of 2017 This is based on AA beginners classes popular in the 1940s that were conducted by different groups of AA. I was a little fascinated by this bit of AA history I knew nothing about. I did a little research and have reprinted a lengthy article about the beginner classes here: https://scast.us/begin There are a number of questions asked during the workshop that are impossible to hear, but the answers make most of the questions fairly clear. Recorded in 2009, this workshop is 4 hrs long.

This is a panel meeting from the Northwest Fellowship Of The Spirit Conference held in August of 2022. It was led by Sarah, Colter and Randy on Step 3 and was hosted at Warm Beach in Washington. After the three leads  share for about the first 30 min they are followed by folks sharing their experience around the 3rd Step. I did considerable editing on this, not so much on content as mike noise, removing dead air and pulling down volume on loud spots. FYI... there is still a bit of mike noise.

It felt like a while since we have had a speaker from the past and I started looking through my archives and found this speak by a man named Clyde D. Clyde is from El Monte California and is telling his story at the NCCAA Fall Conference in Fresno California in October of 1969 (for a 1969 recording the audio quality is remarkable).

Julie L from Studio City (originally from Ireland) is the main speaker at a Southern California speaker meeting held by an unknown group in May of 2016. She is a good speaker and a very funny lady (LGBTQ). Repost from 2019. I spent a good chunk of the last week learning and tweaking the new event software I purchased for the website (Thank you so much to those of you that have donated to Sober Cast, you made that possible). I also edited the form for submitting an event to be a bit more robust, there's a bit of tweaking to do but I'm mostly there. You can now search for AA events by date or location and automatically save an event to your calendar with one click, plus one click to download the event flyer to take to your homegroup. The events are linked directly to the venue using google maps for easy directions.
