Voices of AA: Bill W, Lois W, Ebby T, and Sister Ignatia Share Their Journey
“Much of the world, particularly in this atomic age, is hungry for proof of the power of good over evil.”
Imagine being in a room filled with the very pioneers of Alcoholics Anonymous, sharing their stories and insights. This episode of Sober Cast takes you back to AA's 25th Anniversary International Convention in Long Beach, California. It's a rare gem featuring none other than AA founder Bill Wilson, his wife Lois Wilson, their friend Ebby T, and Sister Ignatia.
The episode kicks off with introductions from these key figures, setting the stage for a deep dive into the early days of AA. Bill Wilson recounts his personal story, as detailed in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, adding fresh perspectives and anecdotes. He also talks about meeting AA co-founder Dr. Bob S. and Dr. William Silkworth, touching on the founding of AA in Akron, Ohio, and the writing of the Big Book.
One of the highlights is Bill's humorous retelling of the Rockefeller Foundation Dinner, which played a crucial role in bringing AA into the public eye. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the roots of AA and the personal stories that shaped its growth.
