Founder's Day! This episode was recorded on June 10, 2022, which is the 87th Anniversary of the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous.

There is a brief discussion about cravings, especially when we were brand new. We talk about coins and we wrap up talking about one of the most important steps, outside of the first one. We also play a game... Fireworks or gunshots. Enjoy the episode.
