Bill Wilson Milestones in the Development of Alcoholics Anonymous

By: History of Recovery

Narrated by: Bill Wilson, A Bill Friend

In less than one hour, Bill Wilson sketches the historical development of Alcoholics Anonymous. Beginning with the founding moments of Ebby bringing the message to him and he sharing sobriety with Doctor Bob.

The growth of AA and the development of the 12 Traditions as spiritual guidelines to preserve the fellowship. The superiority of the wisdom of the group conscience to any inspired individual. He then talks about the General Service Conference taking the reins of leadership of AA. Bill finishes the talk by considering the various temptations and potential sources of trouble Alcoholics Anonymous may encounter. Recordings such as this are of great value. More than any other person, Bill Wilson defined AA and this, in his own words, is one source of that definition; others can and will say what they like, but this is AA in his own words.
