In Memoriam: Sandy B. (1931-2014)

Sandy B., the legendary AA speaker, ended his earthly life with the final words: "Thanks for bringing me to a meeting, buddy." Minutes after this gesture of appreciation towards his friend, Sandy laid his head down on page 23 of the Twelve and Twelve to rest for a moment. The reading was on Step 1 of Alcoholics Anonymous, the "most important step" and the cornerstone of the Program he credited with saving his life and restoring his Spirit.
It was there at his home group, right in the middle of an AA meeting, Sandy B. took his last terrestrial breath with almost 50 years of sobriety. Such a fitting and beautiful end to a remarkable, inspirational life. Sandy leaves behind a timeless and permanent legacy of Love and Service unparalleled in the modern era of the Twelve Step Recovery movement. Only a Higher Power can know, or even comprehend, the amount of lives he has touched.
Words can not explain or somehow encompass the massive impact Sandy has had on the 12-Step Recovery Community. His tapes continue to serve as an inspiration for so many people from all around the world, relating to his simple, yet indescribably powerful, message of depth and weight. I have received countless emails from listeners telling me how much Sandy has inspired and encouraged them. In some cases, they credit him with saving their lives.
I love talking with my friends in recovery about Sandy's tapes, the way he can take an extremely complex topic and condense it down to sheer wisdom in a couple of sentences. Sandy lived his life as an example of the effectiveness of Alcoholics Anonymous, overcoming challenges, facing tragedies with courage and grace, and enthusiastically celebrating the Joy of Recovery. He was a walking, talking, inspirational example of how the Promises of Recovery DO come true!
The following speaker tape is Sandy at his best. Taped in the 1990s, Sandy is full of energy as his wit and charm enchant and captivate the audience in a way only Sandy can. The energy of the crowd is electric as he tells his story and absolutely knocks it out of the park!
Enjoy listening to one of the greatest AA speakers to ever have ever graced the podium, but most importantly, remember he was one of the best AA members to have ever walked through our doors...
