This is part four of a 15 episode in-depth big book study that took place in 2009.

Part four is about Step 3 Surrender & Compliance and is led by Scott S. 

There is some Q& A at the end of this one and the questions were impossible to hear, I removed the long dead pauses and replaced them with a moment of clicks so you know it was an edit and then jumped to the answers.

It is difficult to find recordings of very early members of AA, that are good enough to actually use, we got lucky with this one of Searcy W, sober in May 1946. He is speaking in Minneapolis in June of 2000, he is a funny guy and I really enjoyed the bits of AA history he mentions during his speak.

Ebby T was an old drinking friend of Bill W and later his sponsor in AA. He is credited with introducing Bill to the initial principles that AA would soon develop, such as one alcoholic talking to another.

If you would like to learn more about Ebby there is a very good book about him "Ebby: The Man Who Sponsored Bill W."

He sparked the creation of AA but was unable to maintain long term sobriety. Bill always called Ebby his "sponsor," and even though he had returned to drinking, Bill looked after his friend's welfare for the rest of his life. Ebby struggled on and off with sobriety over the years, and ultimately died sober in 1966.

This is the best quality recording I have found of Ebby and I have cleaned it up as much as I can. He is speaking in 1958 in Memphis TN.

I heard Patti speak live at a local meeting on a Saturday night and really loved her message of hope mixed with a great sense of humor. So I went searching and found this recording of her from a few years ago.
