These men had found something brand new in life, though they knew they must help other alcoholics if they would remain sober.
Ever wondered about the origins of Alcoholics Anonymous and its guiding principles? In this episode of 'The Big Book Podcast', Howard L. takes you through Chapter 11, 'A Vision for You', from the second edition of AA's foundational text. Written by Bill Wilson in the fall of 1938, this chapter not only provides a glimpse into the early days of AA but also outlines a practical plan for spreading its message and forming supportive groups across the country.
Bill faced many challenges while writing this chapter, even admitting later in 'Alcoholics Anonymous Comes of Age' that he often felt like giving up. Despite his exhaustion, he pushed through, creating a narrative that synthesizes the essence of AA's program of recovery. Howard L.'s narration brings to life Bill's account of AA's formation in Akron, Ohio, and the collective success of its early groups.
You'll hear about the spiritual experiences and core principles that have helped countless individuals on their path to sobriety. This episode is a treasure trove for anyone interested in the history of AA or seeking inspiration in their own recovery journey. Howard's heartfelt reading captures the struggles and triumphs of those early days, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by alcoholism.
