My thoughts sometimes turned to the idea that there must be a remedy. The story of Alcoholics Anonymous fascinated me...
Ever wondered what it was like in the early days of Alcoholics Anonymous? This episode of 'The Big Book Podcast' brings to life two personal stories from the first edition of the Big Book that didn't make it into later editions. Howard L., who has been sober since 1988, reads 'A Different Slant' and 'Traveler, Editor, Scholar', offering a fresh perspective on these historical accounts.
'A Different Slant' is the shortest story in any of the four editions, spanning just a page and a half, but it packs a punch with its raw honesty. Meanwhile, 'Traveler, Editor, Scholar' dives deep into the highs and lows of addiction and recovery. These stories highlight the importance of fellowship and faith, painting a vivid picture of the early days of AA.
Howard's narration makes these tales resonate with modern listeners, offering insights into how Christian beliefs influenced the founding of AA and the enduring power of personal stories. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about AA's history, this episode offers a compelling look into the struggles and triumphs of those who came before. Tune in to find hope, inspiration, and a sense of community through these timeless stories.
