Ed L telling his story at the 51st. Arkansas State Conv. Aug. 1991. A Navy then Air Force guy with a pretty amusing way of telling his story. I was interested in what he had to say about staying sober by momentum alone at the beginning of his sobriety.

If you lose an airplane and cant tell them what you did with it, it gets their attention.

Jim P. presenting a step four workshop out of the big book in 2013, this is a very interesting format, it is Jim working with just four people in an informal setting where questions were asked and discussion had along the way. 2.25 hrs.

Ann C. got sober in 1948 and had 28 years sobriety at the time of this speak in 1976 where she is telling her story.

Ancel C. telling his story, I have no idea when this was recorded, or where, it was quoted as humor in recovery.

Evelyn T. speaking at the 50th Annual Buffalo Fall Convention Buffalo NY, 10/91. She is a very funny woman. I really enjoyed listening to her, she got sober in 1953 and was 71 at the time of this speak (38 years).

There is a bit of a pitched tone running through this audio I managed to dull it a bit, it is a little annoying but she was so impressive to listen to I thought I would put it up regardless.

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.
