The Black Cat

Shortly after I got into recovery, I took the "audio" commitment at an AA speaker meeting here in Issaland. Each week I record our guest speaker, then make CDs for anyone who wants them. After I did a bit of research to confirm that it was OK, I took all of the recordings I had and built a website where anyone can listen to them.

I still have the audio commitment nearly 2 years later because nobody wants it.

I have certainly recorded some doozy speakers, but for this Halloween I decided to do something different: an AA "ghost speaker." A great story -- and about the same duration as a regular guest speaker.
