Bill W Shares the Journey of the AA Big Book

It had already got evident by then, while we were just about to be moved out of the city hospital in Akron to make room for people with broken legs and healing livers, that the hospitals were not too happy with that.
Ever wondered how the AA Big Book came to be? In this episode of Sober Cast, Bill W, one of the co-founders of Alcoholics Anonymous, takes us back to 1953 to recount the origins of this pivotal text. Despite a challenging recording quality, Bill's voice cuts through to share the trials and triumphs that shaped the Big Book.
From securing funding to spreading the word, Bill W's narrative is filled with the hurdles they overcame and the faith that fueled their mission. He also touches on the significant role of spirituality and statistics in proving AA's effectiveness. If you're curious about the roots of AA or looking for some inspiration, this episode is a must-listen. It's a rare glimpse into the early days of a movement that has helped millions find their way to sobriety.
