Because Alcoholics Anonymous itself is new Years Old. When I read the several dates on the tombs of those that died Yesterday and Some Years Ago, I consider that great day when we shall all of us be contemporaries.
What happens when a pioneer of Alcoholics Anonymous and a young boy's brush with death intersect on the same day? Joe C takes us on a poignant journey through AA history in this episode of Rebellion Dogs Radio. Jim B, an atheist who stayed sober for over 36 years, passed away on September 8th, 1974. His story is intertwined with that of a teenage boy in Montreal who narrowly escaped death from alcohol poisoning the very same day.
This episode captures the essence of these overlapping lives and the broader impact of AA's early days. Through the memorial service of Jim B, listeners are offered a unique glimpse into the lives of those who helped shape AA. Joe C’s commentary brings to light the significance of anonymity, tradition, and spirituality in recovery.
Featuring heartfelt reflections from guests who share their personal experiences with AA, this episode serves as both a historical tribute and a source of inspiration for those on their own recovery journeys. Whether you're a history buff or someone seeking solace in shared experiences, this episode is a touching reminder of the power of community and resilience in overcoming addiction.
