We just launched our new Episodes page — search hundreds of AA speaker meetings by topic, speaker, or step ☀️  Sober Sunrise Episode Archive In this two-part step study, David A. walks through all 12 steps the way they were taught in the early days — as the diagnosis, the prescription, and the medicine. Sober since 1967 out of the Preston Group in Dallas, he got drunk getting dressed for a funeral, drove to the cemetery early, and slid into the open grave with two folding chairs while the procession arrived. His sponsor had him take his fifth step at 51 days in a men's room — tell God at the ceiling, tell yourself in the mirror, then come tell me. The 12-step calls are legendary: a naked man with a carbine, a granddaughter found in jail faster than the FBI who later called him from law school graduation, and a wife he got off the phone in 30 seconds flat so the husband's eyes finally opened. Old-school Texas AA storytelling with every step covered. David A. - "A Pathway Through The Steps", 12 Step study recorded at the Memphis Bluff City Fellowship Convention 1997 Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
