A recording of my favorite 6am meeting in south Austin at the 617 Foundation. Mary Ann asked me to speak. She's always so kind. You'd love this meeting. If you're ever in Austin Texas at 6am, it's 617 Clifford Street.

Here's Chancelor. He's awesome. Met him this year when visiting the Frisco group. He's become a fast friend because we have so much in common in our approach to recovery. Certainly wise beyond his years/time in recovery. Would be a great YPAA speaker or conference speaker.

Here's Michael. Originally from California and now in Austin Texas. 

Here is Carol A long time member of AA and familiar with the founding members of the Lambda Live and Let Live Group

Garrett is an amazing man. He always goes to great lengths to help others and has an incredible story. You'll want to hear this one.

A great time with some of my favorite folks ANYWHERE. I LOVE OKLAHOMA. Thank you for always being so kind to me.

A great time with the three Matt's, Sam, John and Patrick on the sober road trip. Good times.

Our delightful friend Peggy D at the 2021 Trudgefest of the Capital of Texas Conference. She is a wonderful person in our fellowship. It was great to hear her story. It was a rainy day however, outdoors and children present as it was a family event, so the sound quality is not the best but the message comes through :)

Paul R. is one of the bright spots in AA. A young person I met in 2014 and knew right away he was very special. Once in a while you come across an alcoholic who you can see from across the room is on fire. They are walking around, talking to everyone. Smiling. Laughing. And, you think immediately, I have to meet that one. I had the best feeling about Paul right away. Once I introduced myself, he said he'd heard from someone that he should look to meet me too, because we both were similar. Extroverted. All around happy and of course, both in love with sobriety.This recording came from an invitation I extended to him once he had his 1 year. This was recorded in December 2015. Paul flew from Odessa to Austin just to speak at our Saturday night meeting. Another indication that someone is a great kind of alcoholic. Paul didn't think it was too far, or too much to ask, he just enthusiastically said "yes".On that trip we went to a coffee shop and it was raining out. We couldn't get a parking spot close to the door a
