Sandy Beach on Step 1

Are you struggling with Step 1?
Do you want to better understand this step?
Then this is worth listening to. His tapes helped me out a lot in understanding the steps. Here is a link to a free download of his talk on Step 1

Glad you found them. Hope you are enjoying him speaking. I think his talks are great. Started listening to him early in sobriety and still listen today.

Just got done suggesting my sponsee come to this thread and take a listen.

Wow, now that is something I would love to go to. I have a huge respect for the man and love to hear him speak. He makes things so easy for me to understand.
