This is a workshop that took place in Medford Oregon on the topic of Safety, Inclusivity and Diversity in AA from June of 2020. Five folks of different backgrounds deal with a number of different topics discussing their personal struggles, challenges and solutions regarding safety, inclusivity and diversity in AA. This was early days in the pandemic so zoom bombing is also a topic. NSFW - Zoom

I removed all the "how to participate" discussion at the beginning (and a ton of announcements at the end) so it feels like it just jumps right in and then out at the end. I also removed a number of spots of dead air between some of the comments and speakers and marked this as NSFW simply because some of the topics might not be appropriate at some workplaces.

Bob A is the primary speaker leading this topic meeting on the subject of How I Came To Stay Sober held at the December of 1995 Prime Time Stag Meeting. This has multiple folks sharing on the topic, Bob is the primary speaker and leads the group, he was a very popular speaker back in his time.

There are a couple of questions at the end you may not be able to make out, they are quick so I didn't remove them, this has a bit of an abrupt ending but it was clearly over.

Rick and Bob are the workshop leads, it was held in Mankato Minnesota in 2008, I dont have any other information about this workshop.

The audio quality is good but there is some mike noise as each section starts, it doesnt last more than 45 seconds or so. There are some audibility issues as they do Q & A throughout the sessions but the answers make the inaudible questions fairly clear and lastly, I put a brief click track between parts.

Part 1: Introduction & Step Three

Part 2: Resentments (Previously posted, approx. 57 min long if you want to jump ahead)

Part 3: Personal Stories & Resentments Recap.

Part 4: Questions & Fear Inventory

Part 5: Sex Conduct

The Little Red Book

In 1942, Ed W. began teaching the “Twelve Step Study” classes that helped the Minneapolis Group achieve their 75% recovery rate. Then in 1946, he and Barry C. (The first sober A.A. in the state) published the lectures used for these classes as a book. Initially titled The Twelve Steps, it was affectionately nicknamed “The little red book.”

Back in print for the first time in more than 65 years, the original 1946 edition reveals firsthand how some of A.A.’s earliest members made the program their way of life. Everyone from newcomers to oldtimers will find a wealth of practical experience in this comprehensive guide to the Twelve Steps.
