Printed in the Second, Third, and Fourth Editions, the author of this story is said to have been Chet R. from Santa Barbara, California, though just when he wrote it or first came into AA is not known. The only clue uncovered during a Google search points to a recording of Chet made in October 1953 that is part of The Tom Laperriere Collection of Ernest Kurtz and Clarence Snyder recordings held at the Brown University Library in Providence, Rhode Island. 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 & Second Editions of the Big Book.
