Ron N (sober 14 years) speaking at A Bit Off-the-Wall in 2009, he is a pretty funny guy - LGBT.

This sounds a bit hollow but its listenable, the sound quality is better in the first half than the second half. I had to do lots of noise removal on this one so the voice is ok, but it did make the applouse sound a bit wierd.

Sybil W-C giving a workshop in 1982 on Sponsorship, at the time of this workshop she had been sober 41 years and had the distinction of being the first female member of AA on the west coast.

This is an older recording and I removed much of the noise, its a bit harsh but listenable.

There was another speaker and then some Q&A at the end of this that I removed because of a number of homophobic comments made by the other speaker at the workshop, I delieted him entirely. The comments were not made by or echoed by Sybil, she is great but the other guy not so much.

The Little Red Book

In 1942, Ed W. began teaching the “Twelve Step Study” classes that helped the Minneapolis Group achieve their 75% recovery rate. Then in 1946, he and Barry C. (The first sober A.A. in the state) published the lectures used for these classes as a book. Initially titled The Twelve Steps, it was affectionately nicknamed “The little red book.”

Back in print for the first time in more than 65 years, the original 1946 edition reveals firsthand how some of A.A.’s earliest members made the program their way of life. Everyone from newcomers to oldtimers will find a wealth of practical experience in this comprehensive guide to the Twelve Steps.
