This story was published only in the First Edition of “Alcoholics Anonymous” in 1939. As the 6th story in the Personal Stories section, it never made it to the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th editions of the Big Book. In that way, it will be heard as a "new" story by those who have not seen the First Edition,  Howard L, sober since 1988, presents an inspired reading of this story making it come alive with new relevance and meaning.
