I truly I have to do everything the hard way and instead of trying to talk on one subject this afternoon, real good, I want to try to talk on two subjects, and you know neither one of them will be any good.
Ever wondered about the origins of Alcoholics Anonymous and the pivotal moments that shaped its journey? This episode of Sober Cast offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of AA through the story of Ebby T, the man who made that crucial call to Bill W. Ebby, often referred to as Bill's sponsor, introduced him to the Oxford group, setting the stage for what would become AA.
Despite his own rocky path to sobriety, Ebby's friendship with Bill remained steadfast, and his influence on the formation of AA is undeniable. Recorded in Kansas City in 1960, this episode captures not just Ebby's story but also features Icky S, another early member who shares his unique perspective on those formative years. Through their narratives, listeners are invited to reflect on the themes of humility, patience, and perseverance that are central to the AA program.
This episode is a treasure trove for anyone interested in the history of AA and the personal stories that highlight its impact. Tune in to hear how these early pioneers navigated their struggles and laid the groundwork for a movement that continues to change lives.
