After seven years around AA, treatment, doctors, medications, meetings, and more relapses than he could count, he walked into a Big Book meeting where the room stopped telling war stories and pointed him straight at the solution. In this talk, Chris breaks down the physical craving, mental obsession, and spiritual malady, then makes a blunt case for working the steps, having a spiritual experience, and becoming useful right away. Chris R. from Ingram, TX speaking at the Primary Purpose Group in Atlanta, GA - March 2nd 2009 Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
