Bill W.'s Financial Wisdom: The Early Days of AA

If money was the answer, we had surely come to the right place.
Ever wondered how Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) managed its finances in the early days? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Chris S. and Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, take you on a fascinating journey through the Grapevine Writings of AA co-founder Bill W. You'll hear about the struggles and triumphs of AA as it navigated financial challenges, and why Bill believed that a lack of money could actually be beneficial for the fellowship.
One of Bill's famous quotes, 'If money was the answer, we had surely come to the right place', sets the stage for a deep dive into Tradition Seven, which emphasizes the importance of self-support within AA. Chris and Monty also shed light on Bill's foresight and wisdom, his love for the fellowship, and his insights into potential pitfalls.
This episode is packed with valuable perspectives on AA's history and evolution, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the roots of this transformative movement.
