Ever wondered how Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) evolved from a small group in Akron, Ohio, to a worldwide support network?

This episode is a treasure trove for anyone curious about AA's roots and the pivotal moments that shaped its growth.
Howard L., who has been sober since January 1988, provides a compelling narration that brings the text to life. He covers everything from the minor revisions made to the first 164 pages to the introduction of 30 new personal stories, adding over 110,000 words of fresh material. You'll hear about key figures like Dr. William D. Silkworth and learn about the formation of the first AA group.
The episode also sheds light on how AA spread across North America, thanks to the tireless efforts of friends and advocates. This isn't just a history lesson; it's an inspiring look at how a simple idea turned into a lifeline for millions. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just interested in the history of AA, this episode offers valuable insights that are both informative and uplifting.
