He was my favorite AA speaker. Passed away a few years ago. Died in an AA meeting of a heart attack.

I like his simplicity in explaining the steps.
I don't believe I attended his meetings back then, but I was sober a few years white knuckling!

Thanks sugarbear! I listen to a lot of speakers when Im out driving on the road! Sandy has fantastic talks and is really easy for me to connect to the way he explains it! He is the kind of speaker that really makes me think!
Lately I have been listening to the original members of the first 100 old timers like Bill Wilson, Clarence Snyder, ebby thatcher, Bill d - aa number 3 who bill and dr bob helped...
Many times I listen to just random speakers! Listened to a guy named frank who was a lawyer, he really made me think the way he explained what happened to him and how he works his program! Rob from PA and bob from Minnesota are fantastic too! Peter m from New York is a fantastic spiritual speaker with a heck of a story! Billy n from New Jersey another good one! And of course Clancy and chuck chamberlain are legendary speakers! Same with joe and Charlie! So many stories, so many miracles, a great way to expand your recovery and realize just how lucky we are if we are one of the ones who found a way out!

Sister Bea was at a convention I attended a few years ago,mesmerising.
Sunday this week she did the main share at a Zoom meeting I attended.I was lucky to get in,I sat in tears for a lot of it,she was amazing.I think she is doing a few shares at the Zoom meetings,I am keeping a look out.
One of the good things about the lockdown is how many Zoom meetings there are and what fantastic speakers are at them.

What I do is push button on the bottom of my i phone and ask, aa speakers YouTube! A variety of speakers will pop up on YouTube! Or you could ask your phone, aa speakers Tracy m YouTube or Aa speakers Tracy m from fear to faith YouTube! Then I just put on my ear beads connected to phone and listen as I drive’

Wow! Hands down this is the best al-anon talk I’ve ever listened to! Stephanie B “practicing the program where it matters: at home” - family recovery!

A mixture of joy, happiness, sadness and tragedy! It left tears in my eyes and I don’t cry easily! A true black belt al-anon who explains how to handle anything in life by using the al-anon program!
