Over 6 hours of entertaining study of the Big Book of AlcoholicsAnonymous.
Joe McQ. & Charlie P. met in 1973 when Joe introducedCharlie as the AA speaker at an Al-Anon Convention. Joe hadwondered if Charlie might be the country-western singer CharliePride. "He wasn't even the right color," Joe laments. Theyinstantly discovered their mutual fascination with AA's basic text"The Big Book". What interested them most was that The Big Book waswritten in a particular sequence to convey certain ideas. Thatinterest began a close friendship which has lasted to this day.They would frequently meet to discuss the book, often driving 225miles to meet in each other's homes.
Soon they were planning meetings in hotel rooms at AAconventions in Oklahoma and Arkansas, and within a few years, themeetings grew in popularity. In 1977, some members met in a Tulsa,OK hotel room for a discussion of the Big Book. One asked Joe &Charlie to come to
his home group to present a program on the book. An AA taper made afour tape set of their presentation and called it "The Big BookStudy". The tapes were gradually circulated
throughout the fellowship and invitations were received for Joe& Charlie to present the study at AA conventions, roundups andspecial events. By 1980, there had been about eight studiesoffered.
The CDs for this Big Book study generally sell for over $30. Nowyou can get them on you iPhone, iTouch, or iPad for a lot less.
