It felt like a while since we have had a good solid full length workshop so today we are getting all 12 steps presented by California Rob to the 3 Legacies Group from Winter Garden Florida in April of 2014. Rob starts at the beginning of the book and works his way to the end of the first 164 over 7.5 hours. FYI... there are a few questions asked, you will not hear well, but he does a pretty good job of recapping in his answer.

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.
