Oh wow, I got the astronaught on the moon picture; I am not worthy, I am not worthy. Reminds me of chilhood fantasy and reminds me of a few acid trips too. Awesome show, thanks for having me.

Here in Santa Monica (November 6 - 8) 300 have gathered at this historical AA event, We Agnostics & Freethinkers International AA Convention. Nonbelievers and supporters from GSO and throughout the fellowship have gatered for some awesome fellowship and celebration. It's awesome to meet - in person - so many member's that have shared on line, their 12-Step addiction/recovery stories onlline. Thx again guys. I've got great feedback on the show from here in LA.

SOMETIMES YOU DO GET A SECOND CHANCE TO MAKE A FIRST IMPRESSION.

In which the S.O.S meeting Jeff and Chris set out to attend is not the S.O.S. meeting they find. Which then leads Jeff to facilitate Chris’ second attempt at attending an A.A. meeting.

Will he go in?

Will he stay?

Do they cast him out as an imposter?

Do they welcome him as a brother?

Is there coffee?

Find out in this week’s episode…

Episode 13: Two Alcoholics Walk Into A Room

Waking Up the Ghost? I’ll let Marilyn explain:

“… the first time I heard that expression, I was sitting on a deserted island in the Exumas, with a jaundiced Bahamian named Sands. I think it is also the first time a Bahamian man has ever refused a free drink. What Sands meant, was that the icy beer I offered would lead to another, and another and another; it was safer to keep the Ghost in check by not drinking at all.”

A year and a half into her recovery Marilyn shares some insight on keeping the spirit(s) at bay.
