Repost: Earl H conducts a workshop on the 12 Steps at the Bagels and Big Book Group New York in December of 2012 called Catch the Buzz. This was a listener request and as it happened I had it in the single file format she was after. The workshop is a bit over 4 hours and the audio quality is quite good, it does sound a little fuzzy in parts but overall its not an issue.

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.
