I'm very lucky that Glenn Chestnut and I get to see him. That's why I love the history of the tradition. It helps you feel safe like it's a safe place.
In this heartfelt episode of Rebellion Dogs Radio, host Joe C pays tribute to two remarkable figures in the recovery community: William Borchert and Jackie B. William Borchert, a New York newspaperman who found sobriety in the 1960s, made significant contributions to AA history. His works include 'When Love is Not Enough', the story of Lois Wilson, and 'My Name is Bill W.', a film that brought the story of AA's co-founder to life.
Borchert's legacy is rich with stories that offer a glimpse into the early days of AA and the lives of those who shaped its path. Jackie B, an artist whose plays have touched audiences worldwide, also takes center stage in this episode. Her work has moved people to tears and laughter, resonating deeply with those on their own recovery journeys.
Joe C reflects on the significance of storytelling in AA, emphasizing how these narratives create a sense of safety and connection within the community. This episode is a replay of a 2016 recording, honoring Borchert's memory following his passing in October 2022. It serves as a time capsule, capturing mid-20th century America through the eyes of someone who lived it.
Joe C's discussion is both inspiring and informative, shedding light on the importance of AA traditions and the global spread of its message. Listeners will find this episode not only a tribute but also a reminder of the power of personal stories in recovery. It's a must-listen for anyone interested in the history and future of AA, offering valuable insights into the lives of two individuals who left an indelible mark on the recovery community.
