Sober 28 years since 1/1/1989, originally from Boston, Joe got sober in San Diego, CA.
He had been twelve stepped in Boston the previous October but did not understand what the guy was saying. Three months and 3000 miles later - he began to understand.
Always full of fear, he found it difficult to go to restaurants after the meetings. He would stand in the parking lot and then drive away.
Joe spends much of this talk covering life after coming into AA.
Joe also did a three part Workshop at this event on Steps 1 and 2 with Kent C of Sandusky, OH.
(coming soon)
This is the first recording of Joe in the WeJoy collection although he spoke at the AA International in Atlanta in 2015 on the topic:
Twelve Steps: The Spiritual Principles
(Murphy Ball room 3-4, 11:30am Sat July 4th - coming soon to the collection as well).
