The Bob Earll Collection

Bob E (AA, ACA, ACoA) of Hollywood, Redondo Beach, Los Angeles, Santa Fe.  Bob died January 9 2018 (1935-2018). Bob was a funny and in some circles a controversial speaker. His language was a bit rough at times, although by todays TV standards probably the norm. He spoke his truth as he knew it. Bob had a rough childhood, including being expelled from school in the 10th grade, incarceration, and alcoholism and drug addiction. He got sober and clean in Los Angeles in 1962 and became a highly popular recovery circuit speaker throughout the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. Bob focused on healing the whole person, not just stopping drinking/using. Many people credit Bob for having a major impact in their recovery from the disease of addiction.  Bob was a script writer with many TV shows to his credit.  Bob also authored a few books and a book has been published about his life, they can be found on Amazon.

Some of the talks below are now newly restored audio versions of the original recordings which will greatly improve your listening experience.  These talks are designated with "- restored audio version".  This restoration is the result of an act of service, by an anonymous friend Pete P, to whom we are grateful.    

Adult Children of Alcoholics & Dysfunctional Families is known as ACA or ACoA. They both identify the same autonomous Twelve Step fellowship. Al-Anon meetings with an adult child focus are not ACA groups. Some Al-Anon meetings are known as ACAP or Al-Anon ACoA, but they do not use ACA literature. ACoA cooperates with Al-Anon and all Twelve Step programs, but ACA meetings use ACA literature. For more information on ACA/ACoA please refer to the Adult Children of Alcoholics & Dysfunctional Families website.

Bob Earll in London England - April 1993
This set of tapes were provided by Peter Y.
From the tape set jacket "Bob Earll, a successful television writer for 20 years (Magnum P.I., Kojak, Hill Street Blues, Fantasy Island, and others), believes that people should be aware that it is possible to escape from the prison of one's own feelings (developed perhaps in earliest childhood) and to break out of the bondage of self-destructive patterns. He Should Know - He Did It Himself. Exploring his recovery for more than 25 years, Bob has emerged as one of the most popular speakers in several of the "12-Step" prgrammes, sharing with tens of thousands of people as a banquet speaker and a highly sought after workshop leader. Recently, the majority of Bob's efforts have been focused in the area of Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families. Bob enjoys wide popularity through the world. His message has been translated into many languages, and tapes of his talks number in the thousands. We welcome you to experience on of the most exciting, dynamic, and worthwhile speakers in the recovery field. We know it will be an encounter you will not soon forget."
