Bill Wilson has this awakening. This guy, who is unpredictable, doesn't come home. He is going nuts, he's literally pulling people into the house and after a time, his wife is in the room and says: bill, this is out of control.
Ever wondered how a chance meeting could change millions of lives? In this episode of 'M2 THE ROCK', Michael Molthan dives into the incredible story of Bill W. and Dr. Bob, the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous. Picture this: 85 years ago, Bill W. was on the brink of relapse during a business trip to Ohio. Desperate and standing in a hotel lobby, he found a church directory and called a local minister.
This call set off a chain of events that led him to Dr. Bob, an alcoholic surgeon who initially agreed to meet for just 15 minutes. Their conversation lasted hours, and that day marked the beginning of a lifelong friendship and sobriety for Dr. Bob, who never drank again after June 10, 1935.
Michael delves into how this pivotal meeting not only helped these two men but also laid the foundation for Alcoholics Anonymous and the 12-step program that has since guided countless individuals toward recovery. He reflects on the spiritual awakening experienced by Bill W., emphasizing the importance of sharing personal stories and building a supportive community in the fight against addiction.
If you or someone you know is grappling with addiction, this episode offers a beacon of hope and practical insights into the power of connection and mutual support. Michael's heartfelt narration and deep understanding of addiction make this episode both inspiring and educational. Tune in to learn more about the legacy of Bill W. and Dr. Bob, and how their journey continues to impact lives today.
