Howard takes an intelligent and very funny at times, approach to staying sober and especially God conscience. This may LOOK Long.. But hit PLAY and it seems like minutes, cause Howard (to me) is so interesting to listen to. ALSO- GREAT MEDITATION!!

Love hearing from those who've worked a good long consistent program.

Yes. I took the time to contact and ask members with 25+ years about what they have done to maintain the long sober time.... and I learned that all of them read/study authors outside of AA literature. When I started the 11th step prayer and meditation, I was guided to do what the members in the 1930's were doing.... starting with "Sermon-on-the-Mount" Emmet Fox. Then Joel Goldsmith, then Neale Donald Walsch, and all of the late Dr. Wayne Dyer.

Just a note on LSD, Our Bill Wilson also used LSD and wanted to incorporate with AA, again here we can use contempt prior to invest my friends. Why LSD? Because for a little while it shuts the ego off and also, Ram Das, a very brilliant psychologist, went to India and was able to reduce the ego a huge amount, much more than the vast majority of my fellow AA members have without any further use of LSD. What the steps do, if done properly is reduce the ego, enough to find Love, or God, just a little is needed to stop drinking but why stop there. If you think AA is “the way” that’s ego, likely you have struggles still, meditation if done properly brings us to the present moment, the only moment, shuts the mind off where the ego resides
