Author Description

When the 3rd Edition of Alcoholics Anonymous was published in 1976, thirty Personal Stories originally printed in the 1st and 2nd Editions were omitted to make room for new stories. Lost to posterity, these stories have remained unseen by millions who got sober using the 3rd and 4th Editions of the Big Book. Vital in both their content and message, these lost stories from the early decades of AA are no less powerful today than they were when first printed in 1939 or 1955. To read them now is to read them as brand-new stories of experience, strength, and hope. They are a meaningful part of AA's history that will inform and enrich every recovering alcoholic's relationship with AA. Lost Stories of the Big Book is available as an audiobook from Audible.com, Apple iTunes, and Amazon.
