  • Summary

  • This is the final story in the Second Edition entitled “Freedom From Bondage” and was printed in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Editions of the Big Book. It was written by Wynn L. who joined AA in 1947 at the age of 33. Married and divorced four times before she got sober in AA, Wynn married her fifth husband, George L., shortly after her story appeared in the Big Book. George was a fellow member of AA at the time and the two of them became a popular duo at speaker meetings. Of those meetings, Wynn’s step-daughter, Caroline, was quoted as saying, “My dad was Wynn’s opening act. He couldn’t help but be funny. Then he would defer to Wynn, whose tale was hair-raising.” Wynn and Jack P. of Los Angeles started more than 80 meetings in hospitals, jails and prisons in Southern California from about 1947 to 1950. Jack P. reports that during this period they were widely criticized by other members of the Fellowship who thought this was not something A.A. should be doing. 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.
