Two stories are presented in this episode: A Different Slant and Traveler, Editor, Scholar. These appeared as the 7th and 8th stories in the Personal Stories section of the First Edition of "Alcoholics Anonymous" in 1939. Neither story made it to the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th editions of the Big Book. Of particular note, A Different Slant is the shortest story in any of the four editions of the Big Book at just a page-and-a-half long. For those who've never read First Edition, these two stories will be as new to you as they were when first published over 80 years ago. Howard L, sober since 1988, presents an inspired reading of these stories, making them come alive with fresh relevance and meaning.
