Joe and Charlie Steps From The Big Book Study 2001
This is a special Big Book Study because it includes the old Joe (Joe McQ.) , and the second Joe to work with Charlie (Joe McC.) So the combined experience and work of all three are contained in this Steps From the Big Book Study. It is three tapes longer than any others I have or have heard of.
Copies of the seminars handouts which are used in the discussion and are used for working the steps are included and will be sent with the Cds.
These studies transmit an insight bordering on inspiration. They bring a great deal of feeling to the work; it vastly trancends instruction. These Cds will help anyone already interested in working the steps to consumate that interest with a very effective practice. Truly guides the doing. They guide you through the why and how of working the steps. The why because the natural order of the big book begins by highlighting the problem. This is discussed in length when THE DOCTORS OPINION,THERE IS A SOLUTION ,and MORE ABOUT ALCOHOLISM are discussed. The Big Book tells us why we must work the steps to recover and then tells us how. Often steping back to the Why. Then telling HOW.
These CDs will enable anyone to take the steps according to the Big Books instruction.
A great thing to get together with ones sponsor over. Listening to the discussion of each step, pauseing the Cd, and then following the directions. This could take some time but would be a realistic "any lengths" to stay sober.

Biographical Info
Gertrude Behanna
Author of book-The Late Liz, (was also made into a movie 1970's)
God isn't Dead !! AA Speech,
Who is the Alcoholic?? AA Speech Gertie's Prayer
Dear God
I ain't what I wanna be,
and I ain't what I'm gonna be,
and I sure ain't what I oughta be.
 But thank God I ain't what I used to be!!!
There is a line in my book that
I like very much and since
no one ever quotes it to me I have to quote it to them.
That line is: "(...Being Alcoholic) It was
as if we were Siamese twins --
one of whom must die that the other might live."

Gertrude Behanna was the only child of a Scotch immigrant who had become very wealthy.
She had her choice of all that is worldly from money to entertainment.
In an inimitable fashion she tells her highly personal story of alcohol, drug addiction,three broken marriages
and attempted suicide. Sunk to depths of  moral and physical misery, her body wracked by
psychosomatic illnesses, a  physician advised psychiatry, but strangely Gertrude turned to Christ, the "Great Physician."
At age 53 she discovered that God was not dead ... that through the miracle of Christ's divine love and power ... drugs, liquor and despair itself could be conquered. Her health regained, she has spent at least 15 years touring the country, telling her story, giving
hope and encouragement to thousands in all walks of life.
In quoting from her own book "The Late Liz," Gertrude Behanna says,
"In standing aside and looking back at this woman I used to be, it is more and more possible to detach myself, to
view her in third person. She was she and I am I; Siamese Twins perhaps, one of whom must
die that the other may live."

Dr Bobs Last Talk ; Keep it Simple and Love and Service.

Bill Wilsons Talk at the First International AA Convention. Bill recounts AA History up to that time.

He talks about the role of money in AA and other issues of importance.

Cd 2 and 3 The Traditions Meeting
Six Speakers from various parts of the country each talk about 2 of the Traditions.

There are some regional anecdotes. The speaker from Cleveland recounts the adventures of the first Cleveland Central office.

Bill Wilson talks in a general way about the 12 Traditions as a whole. He talks about some of the incidents that gave rise to the needed tradition. How various Traditions are applied to situations.

At one point he says "Today is the day, we think, that marks our emergance from adolescence into adulthood and so it is with great pleasure that I can make to you the announcement. The board of trustees have authorized the formation of a yearly conference composed of regional members of AA who can assume a part of the reponsibility for your services, your votes, your money, your public relations."

At the end of Bill talk he asks anyone opposed to them to speak up if they want to. Nobody takes him up on that.

"Then I suppose by general affirmation rather than any official act. We who are here in this hour of destiny may now be willing to rise and confirnm the Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous" After he says this there is a vibrant standing ovation.

The Talks on these Cds are among the most historically significant AA recordings available.

Sound Quality is good.

Solid Recovery From Both Alcoholism and Mental Illness

 Don C of Colorado Springs, Colorado
Native American Perspective on AA Recovery Program
A Very Interesting Set of Talks on the Steps and Seasons of Recovery.
The Seasons of Recovery is a very enlightening way to look at cycles in our moods and feelings as we progress in Recovery.
Often we look at dormant periods in our recovery badly. We think we are doing something wrong.
Don introduces the idea that this could be a "winter" season in your recovery.
After the "winter" will come yet another "spring" so don't get worried about it.
He talks about the this in depth and explains it better than I. He also goes through the steps with a seminar group.
Parts of these recordings involve interaction with an audience.
Because there was only one microphone much of the audience part of conversations is inaudible
However Don's explanations and answers are very worthwhile.
