This site has a huge selection of speaker audios in MP3 format.

You'll see on this page the array of 12-step groups represented here. An alcoholic may be well-advised to check out the CA Selection, that of Cocaine Anonymous. You'll find several familiar speakers here who don't talk about "outside issues" at AA meetings -- unless they're speaking to another fellowship. Some of this material is meaty and profound, especially those addressing spirituality and sponsorship, something that may have slipped on the 'priority list' of some AA groups.

You can download a great set of speaker tapes from this page, including:
o A complete set of Joe & Charlie tapes circa 1998
o Myers R. in Iceland
o Chris R. & Co. at the PPG 15th Anniversary meeting
o Joe McQ (of Joe and Charlie) in a solo presentation on the 12 Steps.
o Dara of the PPG

These are in "RM" format; you can freely download RealPlayer from www.real.com or from the website of the Primary Purpose Group of SC at www.aaprimarypurpose.org (see their weblink on this site).

To download and save copies of these files, put your cursor on the desired "RM" file (not the "RAM" version), right-click your mouse button, and select "save link as" - then select where you wish to save your copy and enter an appropriate filename.

With Realplayer, you can not only play audios in RM and MP3 format, you can also "burn" audio CDs for use on your stereo - or give them to those who need to hear really good speaker tapes.

This site has been maintained since 1995 as part of one man's service commitment to the fellowship that saved his life.

"Many generous visitors have asked to make contributions to help "Bob Y." maintain this site." In the past, he was very reluctant to accept any direct donations. However, economic times change and it is rapidly becoming a financial burden for him to continue. The expense to maintain this site is over $700 per year. The site will remain operational with or without donations for as long as Bob can afford to do so. His sponsor advises him that, when people offer to help, he is obliged to allow them to do so.

In that spirit, if you would like to visit the site, download some very good speaker audios, and make a donation, go to http://www.elmoware.com/spktapes.htm now. You'll find a host of audios and the name & address of a man whose mission deserves your support.

If you're looking for a huge collection of recordings made during presentations by many fine speakers, you've found it!

Note: you can listen to these on-line or download them onto your hard drive, then 'burn' a CD at your leisure -- CDs you can share with old-timers and newcomers alike.
