I knew that I was utterly hopeless, I knew that I had no power of my own to go on living...
What happens when a chance conversation changes the course of your life? In this episode of Sober Cast, listeners are treated to a rare and deeply personal account from Bill W, one of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous. Recorded at the Oklahoma State Conference in 1951, Bill takes us back to his pivotal encounter with Ebby, a friend whose words sparked the journey that would lead to the creation of AA.
Unlike his usual talks focused on the mechanics and future of AA, this one dives into his own struggles and the moment he realized he couldn't conquer his addiction alone. Bill's narrative is raw and heartfelt, shedding light on the despair he felt and the transformative power of honesty and surrendering to a higher power. This episode is not just a recount of events but a testament to the hope and resilience found in recovery.
With one of the best-quality recordings available, Bill’s story is both moving and inspiring, offering valuable insights for anyone touched by addiction.
