Jack B – telling his story a the Ontario Regional Conference - Toronto 1973. Its a great speak, he had a pretty amazing life and I love his accent I could listen to him for hours.

Bill W speaking on the history of the Big Book in 1953. This was a very poor recording to start with, it had a really nasty hum, I was able to get out most of the background noise. Bill's voice is much clearer (a bit sharp) however the filtering I had to do makes the laughter from the audience sound strange but listenable.

Nancy B. from Denton TX speaking at the eighth annual Cornhusker Roundup in 2005. Nancy has a clear message delivered with much humor.

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.
