My mission now is helping people in 12-Step Fellowships explore a deeper understanding of spiritual practice and how it connects us to the 'Great Reality' within. -Fr. Bill W.
Ever wondered about the early days of Alcoholics Anonymous and the principles that shaped its foundation? In this episode, Matt D. from All Addicts Anonymous takes listeners on a journey through the pioneering history of AA. He sheds light on Dr. Bob's significant influence and introduces the Four Absolutes—honesty, purity, unselfishness, and love—that were central to the program's early days. These principles, combined with the 12 Steps, formed the backbone of recovery for many early members.
Despite some audio issues on Father Bill W.'s end, Matt's message comes through loud and clear, offering valuable insights into the spiritual practices that have stood the test of time. Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned member of a 12-Step fellowship, this episode offers a fascinating look at the roots of AA and the timeless wisdom that continues to guide those on their path to sobriety.
