Published only in the First Edition of the Big Book
The Unbeliever is a story you have likely not seen before. It was published only in the First Edition of “Alcoholics Anonymous” in 1939. It was the second story in the Personal Stories section following The Doctor’s Nightmare (also known as Dr. Bob’s Nightmare). Because it wasn’t included in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th editions of the Big Book, The Unbeliever is a “new” story for most people. Howard’s impassioned reading infuses this story with fresh meaning and significance, making it as relevant today as it was 80 years ago.
