Episode 129

In this episode of Sober Speak, Bill C returns to the mic to expound on his view of the 12 Steps. Bill states we are a society of storytellers and that when speaking we should stick to just sharing your story to take the ego out of it; don't preach! Bill shares how over time his fear list has become more important than his resentment list and that in doing the work we become willing to remove the character defects we don't just humbly ask. Bill believes that we don't just go to a meeting to get something out of it but rather than to add to it.
