2 Sober Chicks

Julie offers a different perspective on what step 10 can be, spurred on by a reading from Howard Thurman, the spiritual advisor to MLK Jr.

Whenever I need peace in my day I find this is an exercise that immediately helps quiet my mind. Lisa and Julie are just 2 sober chicks who sit down and talk recovery, AA, the 12 steps, sponsorship, and how it works for them. Their main purpose in doing this podcast is simply to carry the message of sobriety and recovery and to bring a little hope into the lives of the still suffering alcoholic. They try to live the AA Responsibility Declaration - I Am Responsible - When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of A.A. always to be there. And for that, I am responsible.
