Once again I was surprised by the number of folks that wanted this whole series so I did some rescheduling. I cleaned this audio up as best I could but there comes a point that removing any more of the background hiss and he starts sounding like a mouse talking (dont ask how I know). I got the majority out but there is a bit of hiss in this, its only 30 min and its not that bad, just a bit annoying.

Sandy is the leader of this workshop covering step 4, this is part 2 of a four part series where he goes through all 12 steps steps. For those of you unfamiliar with Sandy he was a hugely popular AA speaker, during his time.

I was thinking of adding a forum or discord so folks can discuss the speaks or whatever sober related. It would be private, I want to know if you would be into that? I put a survey up to get your opinion and would be very grateful if you would take the one question survey. https://scast.us/discuss
