Thank you for doing this!
It’s so wonderful to find stories from 2nd Edition. Our octogenarians with lifetimes of sobriety relate the stories from this edition and I am so pleased to have it available at anytime.
I love this podcast. The stories have all been such a great addition to my recovery process. I’ve been devouring it while doing my menial tasks, and it has kept me out of the dark thoughts that creep in so early in the recovery process.
Exciting to hear new stories from the early years. I have been in the Program for over 25 years so this is a treat. Howard reads exceptionally well and lets the listener fall into the First and Second Edition as if we were there in the 1930s and 1950s. A must listen.
Somedays this podcast is all I have the strength to do. But at the end of the day….. I’m abstinent. recording this book as a podcast was a great idea. Thank You!
