  • APPENDICES I-VI – Second Edition
    Mar 3 2021
    This is the 85th and final episode of the Big Book Podcast. It features the six Appendices and list of AA Publications found at the end of the Second Edition of Alcoholics Anonymous published in 1955. If you’ve enjoyed the Big Book Podcast, have a listen to Lost Stories of the Big Book, 30 Original Stories Missing from the 3rd and 4th Editions of Alcoholics Anonymous. It’s an engaging audiobook I narrated to bring these stories to life for AA members who’ve never seen them. These timeless testimonials were originally cut to make room for newer stories in the 3rd and 4th Editions. But their vitally important messages of hope are as meaningful today as when they were first published. Many listeners will hear these stories for the first time. Lost Stories of the Big Book is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. It’s also available as a Kindle book and in Paperback from Amazon. And check out my AA Recovery Interviews podcast where Alcoholics Anonymous members from around the world share their extraordinary stories of experience, strength, and hope. There are over 150 awesome interviews in this podcast series, that you can enjoy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all other podcasts apps. You can also listen at: aaarecoveryinterviews.com .

  • FREEDOM FROM BONDAGE – 2nd Edition
    Feb 23 2021
    This is the final story in the Second Edition entitled “Freedom From Bondage” and was printed in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Editions of the Big Book. It was written by Wynn L. who joined AA in 1947 at the age of 33. Married and divorced four times before she got sober in AA, Wynn married her fifth husband, George L., shortly after her story appeared in the Big Book. George was a fellow member of AA at the time and the two of them became a popular duo at speaker meetings. Of those meetings, Wynn’s step-daughter, Caroline, was quoted as saying, “My dad was Wynn’s opening act. He couldn’t help but be funny. Then he would defer to Wynn, whose tale was hair-raising.” Wynn and Jack P. of Los Angeles started more than 80 meetings in hospitals, jails and prisons in Southern California from about 1947 to 1950. Jack P. reports that during this period they were widely criticized by other members of the Fellowship who thought this was not something A.A. should be doing. Howard L, sober since January 1, 1988, presents this inspired reading of the Big Book and encourages listeners to revisit earlier podcast episodes that feature the main chapters and stories in the First and Second Editions of the Big Book.

  • HE WHO LOSES HIS LIFE – 2nd Edition
    Feb 16 2021
    This story, printed in the 2nd and 3rd Editions, was penned by Bob R. who sobered up in New York City AA in 1947. The story’s literary flair reflects Bob’s earlier ambitions of becoming a playwright and the depths to which he had descended prior to sobriety. Though not much is known about Bob, he did write a follow-up to his story for a 1967 issue of the Grapevine entitled, “Come On Be Happy, Too”. The article provided an updated perspective of a sober member of AA some 12 years after the original Big Book story. Bob wrote, “I hope I am no less human for being dry, twenty-years-plus dry, in AA. The bad old years, the years of suffocating in the deep morass of alcoholism, are years I could have used to good advantage had I not been trapped by this hideous disease. There were seven or eight years before I found AA - oh, how I could have used those years! But they were not wasted; they stripped me of everything, including self-respect; but they made me ready for the happiness of the last twenty years in AA.
