News — Sobriety Sober AA Gratitude

Hey Clay! Reaching out from over the pond again! (What even is that analogy about!?) I hope this email reaches you at a time where you're in a 'spectacular mood' and have a 'steaming hot cup of coffee' on the go- I suspect it might.. I'm onto episode 275 - now admitting that I'm powerless over the compulsion to listen to this podcast and my life has become so palatable!!! First off - gratitude. Deeply felt and openly about expressed. 🙏 Something that's helped me no end came in your episode around sponsoring. It affirmed my approach and encouraged me...

Clay, I got the audio book for The Sarcastic Big Book. I’ve been rolling on the floor laughing at every line.  I’d like to use part of it (The 12 steps, revisited in this book) and the 9th step promises, in a talk about 2 months from now. Of course I’ll give full credit to the author and as a subtext promote the book.   Can I get your permission to do so?  I hope you consider it carefully as you touched on insights that I have observed but couldn’t start to describe them as well as you did.  Thank you for considering...

I was wondering how the format of such a meetings is. Ive been too some myself, where the book would be the sole topic. But is there any other formats? From model-glue to Cadillac mag model, Its amazing! Sincerely  Christopher B.

I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but it was a beautiful movie and not your typical biopic. It didn’t just center on his life and what he did, it was from the point of view of a writer for esquire who had to do an assignment piece on Mr Rogers. That’s all I’ll say in case you want to see it. It was a perfect illustration of what getting out of self is all about. Mr Rogers was the...
