JoJo S from Los Angeles tells her story at the Monterey Roundup held in Monterey California, this speak was recorded in October of 1985 when she has 10 years sobriety. JoJo has become one of my favorite speakers, she carries a great message with weight and humor. I only have one unused recording of JoJo besides this one and I would love a few more from her, if you happen to have one please email me. NSFW

If you are fairly new to AA you may not of heard of Joe and Charlie but you will eventually. They are a pair of the much loved characters we have in AA, they have hosted 12 step workshops all over the US and the world over many years. This is the first part of one of them it runs about 90 min (it ends a bit abruptly), they always do an amazing and consistent job at explaining the big book. This is just one part but there are full versions of this on the podcast already, they always vary a little so when I get a nice recording like this one is (from 2003) I dont mind a bit of overlap.

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.
