With Speaker Potluck, just like in a real meeting you dont know what you are going to hear till you do. Yesterday I grabbed four 15 min speakers speakers without listening to them in advance, then created the audio. As it turned out the 4 speakers I grabbed were all male, so I thought equal time is only fair.

These four speakers I only listened to long enough to see if they were female and so, Speaker Potluck #11

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.
