He has one hell of a story, he was a bit of an outlaw and at a point he attempted suicide by shotgun and failed. I was going to the same meetings he was back then and saw a lot of what he walked through after that failed attempt, he has a truly remarkable story. (NSFW)

We have had a few different speaks by Chris C previously, he became sober in 1987 and in this recording from 2007 Chris is leading a mens retreat in McKenzie Or where he takes us through the steps. (4 Hours)

This is 4 hours long and there are a few parts where he takes questions, you will not be able to hear the questions but he does an ok job of recapping when answering so its not too difficult to figure out the question.

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.
