This story is familiar to many, as it was printed in the Second, Third, and Fourth Editions of "Alcoholics Anonymous". Unfortunately, the author of this story is unknown. What little we know about him is from the story itself. He got sober in November 1947 and was still sober past November 1954 when this story was submitted for the Second Edition.  But as you listen to it, I think you’ll find its message as fresh today as it was all those years ago. 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.
