Transcript of Joe and Charlie Big Book Study - Laughlin, Nevada August 1998 J & C If we’re going to study the Big Book Alcoholics Anonymous, which of course that’s what we’re here for this weekend, I think it would be well if we would go back and look at just a little bit of the history behind the book, be able to see what happened to some of the first people that put this thing together and by looking at that history then it’s going to make it a lot easier to understand the book itself as we go through that. And what we like to do to look at some of the history is to go to the forward of the 2nd Edition, Roman Numeral XV and we’ll start with the last paragraph on that page so everybody that’s got your books if you’re ready, Roman Numeral XV and the last paragraph on that page, Joe. One of the things that has helped me over the years in studying Bill’s writings and he does this in most all of his writings, you can follow along with what he does and it’ll help you understand some of his writings. For instance he’ll always tell us what the problem is, then he’ll tell us the solution to that problem, and then he’ll give us a practical program of action to implement the solution that he just described. He does that in most all cases of his writings so that kind of helped me, in understanding how Bill writes. So the bottom of page, on Roman Numeral page XV, Big Book p. xv, par. 4
