I recently got a message from a listener saying its been a while and asking for some Sandy B, so here you go Marcos.

Sandy B is from Tampa Florida and today we have him speaking at the 56th annual Florida State Convention held in Palm Harbor in August of 2012, he was 48 years sober at the time of this speak and if you are unfamiliar with Sandy he was a very popular speaker for literally decades.

Check out the event list for new listings, an LGBTQ conference that looks like a lot of fun in West Hollywood on Memorial Weekend and if you are on the other side of the country I just added the Way of Life Conference happening in June in Palm Beach Gardens Florida. Lastly I got an email from Dante at the Friends in Recovery Roundup down in South Africa and they just added their schedules and zoom info for this free event, you can find that link below and on the FIR website.

What happened - What its like

Ebby T - An early member of AA referred to as Bill W's sponsor, speaking in San Jose in 1962. Well worth a listen if you are interested in early AA. Pretty good audio quality for the 60's Repost

Ebby is credited with introducing Bill to the initial principles that AA would soon develop, such as one alcoholic talking to another. If you would like to learn more about Ebby there is a very good book about him "Ebby: The Man Who Sponsored Bill W."

He sparked the creation of AA but was unable to maintain long term sobriety. Bill always called Ebby his "sponsor," and even though he had returned to drinking, Bill looked after his friend's welfare for the rest of his life. Ebby struggled on and off with sobriety over the years, and ultimately died sober in 1966.

Today we have Tim M from London speaking in Berlin at the Friendly Circle Group on the topic of The Nuts and Bolts of Sponsorship in May of 2022 on Zoom.

If you are interested in hearing more about this topic from Tim. A few months ago I posted a workshop he did called "How To Sponsor Someone Through Steps" In it he breaks it down by going through each step individually, it was originally created over a period of months and I consolidated the 17 parts down to three 5ish hour podcast episodes. Search "How To Sponsor Someone Through Steps" on your podcast player or you can find them on my website at this link https://scast.us/sponsor
