Yesterday our speaker was Ann P and she mentioned one of the folks that really helped her in her sobriety was a gent named Norm A from Monrovia CA.

So I thought why not feature him today, Norm got sober at the beginning of 1954 and at the time of this speak on Unity Day in San Jose, CA in the summer of 1982 he had been sober for 28 years, this was his last talk.

Ann P (Irish Annie) from Huntington Beach speaking in El Paso TX at an unknown conference, she got sober in the summer of 1968

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.
