On Sunday I posted the first part of this workshop and asked you to email if you wanted the rest, I have never had so many emails in response to an episode. So I did some quick editing and rearranging and here you go. This is the entire 4.5 hour workshop. If you already listened to the first part and want to jump in past that, FF 1 hour 5 min.

For the rest of you, this is a 4 part workshop called a Journey thru the Steps led by Don M who got sober in 1981. He works his way through all 12 steps while reflecting on his story and his own journey through the 12 steps. This was held sometime in 2003 in Daytona Florida, and thats about all I know about this event.

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.
