Re: Tradition 3 - What was his addiction?

That was Barry L. He was gay and clearly full of self hatred at that time. He went on to author Living Sober and play a leading role in leading the way for gay and lesbian acceptance in Alcoholics Anomymous.?
Here's a link to his talk at the 1985 Montreal conference.?
.
Barry L.'s role in A.A. is detailed in the excellent book,?The History of Gay People in Alcoholics Anonymous:? From the Beginning, by Audrey Borden. Copies of her book are very expensive and can be found on Amazon.com.
