Favorite Speaker tapes - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

**nandm** · 01-09-2008, 02:01 PM

Just curious about what everyone's favorite speaker tapes are. Here are a couple of mine:

Sandy Beach
Drop the Rock
This is a great tool for understanding the tapes. This guy is hilarious and puts things in a way that they are remebered.

A good story. Kept my attention

Thanks!!

My edit button doesn't work. That should have read Steps....lol

Rufus, He is great speaker. I found Sandy Beach through a recovery angel early in my sobriety. I am so thankful for that person giving me the tapes. I learned so much from them. They never get old for me as I know I still have a lot to learn.

T-Mar Tapes

They are based out of Eugene, Oregon but have a good selection.

Trying to think of his last initial -- Wayne from somewhere in California. He cracks me up, while at the same time driving home the fact that even the most twisted of us alcoholics can recover.

XA-Speakers - The lights are on!

This is a great site. You can download to your computer, burn discs, sync to an MP3 player etc. I've probably burned 100 discs for my home group. We've started a little library to keep with literature. A few of my favorites are Chris Raymer, Mark Houston, Don P. and Earl H.

sugErspun · 01-09-2008, 04:25 PM

That's exactly what I was going to post BP44 xa-speakers.

Best I have found yet (and it still aint got the ones I want!!! )

I like the Don P, Joe H, and Mark H talks the best so far.

-this is my opinion only and is in no way to be indicative of truth, or the view of AA as a whole-

jimhere · 01-09-2008, 06:38 PM

Don P. North Coast Round up, Seaside Oregon 1999
Don P. Sponsorship Conference Tacoma WA 2005
about any of Don's workshops that were recorded. "A Spiritual Journey" in Slidell, LA, 1997 is probably the best

"How Free Do You Want To Be?" Joe H. & Mark H., a retreat held in Prescott. AZ in 2002

about any of Tom Brady Jr.'s talks.
Clint H. is another one

Oh yes-Chris R.

Rob B · 01-09-2008, 08:35 PM

PEter M SPiritual Experience
Chris +Myers Raymer=Sponsorship weekend, primary purpose weekend (A must have in my opinion)
Joe Hawk MArk HOuston Prescott 03'
All of Don P's talks

All available on xa speakers

My personal heroes are everyone of you who are taking the heat, enduring the remarks and comments and sticking to the one thing that ALcoholics Anonymous is about, talking about the power of God and the steps that brought you to the great reality.

Sandy Beach, I kept hearing about in the rooms in Fredericksburg, he was in our rooms for a time before he moved to Fla. His old home in Fredericksburg is now a resteraunt, my sponsor is friends with him (That and a $1.50 will get you a cup of coffee at a 7-11! LOL). Well I got to hear him speak in Virginia Beach at a "Pockets of Enthusiasm" conference, WOW!!!! My sponsor & I spoke with him for awhile after he spoke (I mainly listened), the man is awesome both as a speaker and a person.

Jim Don P spoke at the same event, he was awesome as well, Clancy was there as well, he is a character!!!

I wish I was better with names, there are so many I have enjoyed/learned from. My sponsor got sober in San Diego and his sponsor was big into taping, his sponsor passed on to him close to 800 tapes from some of the Old Old timers. My sponsor tapes our local speakers and makes copies of other tapes with permission. He has spent the last several years putting tapes onto CDs.

Emimily · 01-10-2008, 07:23 AM

**Rowan** · 01-10-2008, 09:13 AM

My favourite is Hollis Dodge from .. Virginia, I believe. Former Roman Catholic priest - well-spoken, humorous, sincere.
Even my Mom loved his tape - and she's not an alcoholic.

Father Martin is always my favorite... Dr Paul O. and Clancy I.
