Sandy B. Spirituality Retreat

These tapes are among the most precious recordings in the entire RecoveryAudio library. Over one weekend, Sandy B. stepped outside the usual AA meeting format and opened up about the spiritual principles that had shaped his fifty years of sobriety — not as doctrine, but as one seeker talking to others. He called AA "an utter simplicity which encases a complete mystery," borrowing Bill W.'s words, and then spent hours unpacking what that mystery actually looks like when you live inside it. He traced the spiritual roots of AA from Carl Jung to the Oxford Group. He talked about why history matters, why humility is something you eventually want rather than something you're forced into, and why the monkey won't let go of the food in the bottle — because that's us. This isn't a lecture series. It's Sandy at his most intimate — cracking jokes about nobody surviving the night sober, then turning around and saying something so quietly true it changes how you see the program. If you've ever wondered what forty years of step work and spiritual seeking actually produces in a person, these tapes are your answer.
