Summary

This is part seven of a 15 episode in-depth big book study that took place in 2009. Part seven is about Steps 8-9 Recovering your Spirit and is presented by Karen C. There is some Q& A at the end of this one and the questions were impossible to hear, I removed the long dead pauses and replaced them with a moment of clicks so you know it was an edit and then jumped to the answers.
