Evelyn T. speaking at the 50th Annual Buffalo Fall Convention Buffalo NY, 10/91. She is a very funny woman. I really enjoyed listening to her, she got sober in 1953 and was 71 at the time of this speak (38 years).
There is a bit of a pitched tone running through this audio I managed to dull it a bit, it is a little annoying but she was so impressive to listen to I thought I would put it up regardless. Repost from 5/30.
Mickey B a pretty funny guy from the UK, who puked on the queens lawn and puked on a lawn in queens! So is the cat! Repost from 4/20.
This is a fair quality recording, it sounds a bit fuzzy and I have cleaned up the tone as best I can.
Mark H and Dave F discuss how important the first step is not only to starting the program but to maintaining sobreity. There is also a discussion about working with those who relapse often.
