Aubu speaking at the Big Apple Roundup in November of 1994. I particularly liked the story about what he did that got him to go to his first meeting of AA. LGBTQ

My thanks to those of you that took the time to respond to the 1 question survey last week. The question was: What would you like to hear? The majority of the responses was (by quite a bit). "I like the current mix of single speakers to workshops"... so that is what we will continue to do, but we will ask again and your input is welcome anytime, my email address is:

Ralph W speaking on the topic of Steps 4 and 5 at the Akron Homecoming in May 2012. Since the topic yesterday was step 5 it seemed interesting idea to feature a second speaker on the same topic, with a bit of step 4 thrown in for good measure.

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.
