Rhubarb Jim from Bethlehem PA telling his story at the Feet First group in October of 2009.

I spent a good chunk of the last week learning and tweaking the new event software I purchased for the website (Thank you so much to those of you that have donated to Sober Cast, you made that possible). I also edited the form for submitting an event to be a bit more robust, there's a bit of tweaking to do but I'm mostly there.

You can now search for AA events by date or location and automatically save an event to your calendar with one click, plus one click to download the event flyer to take to your homegroup. The events are linked directly to the venue using google maps for easy directions. View the event list at this link http://cduck.us/events

Along those lines if you are in the area, the 45th Annual Sacramento Spring Fling is happening February 10-12. You can register at the door. Details: https://www.sacspringfling.org

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.
