At Dr. Bob's Speaker Dinner, held on February 24, 2017, Kent C. from Sandusky, Ohio, captivated the audience with his reflections on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and its profound impact on his life and the lives of countless others. The event, a gathering of AA members and supporters, highlighted the enduring legacy of AA's founders and the spiritual principles that continue to guide its members.
Kent began his talk by acknowledging Ron Kay from Doylestown and expressing gratitude for the opportunity to speak. He set the tone with a prayer, invoking God's guidance for the evening, a practice that keeps him grounded and mindful of the spiritual foundation of AA. The historical backdrop of AA was a focal point of Kent's speech. He recounted the pivotal meeting in November 1937 at 855 Ardmore Avenue, Akron, Ohio, where Bill Wilson and Dr.
Bob discussed the separation from the Oxford Group and counted the number of sober individuals across New York, Akron, and Cleveland. This moment, Kent emphasized, marked the birth of what would become the Program of Recovery in AA. The presence of Ann Smith, Dr. Bob's wife, was also acknowledged, as her contributions were instrumental in shaping the recovery practices that AA members follow today. Kent shared personal anecdotes, illustrating the transformative power of AA's principles.
He recounted moments of doubt and the relentless pursuit of sobriety, underscoring the importance of service, sponsorship, and the application of the 12 Steps. His reflections on his own journey highlighted the spiritual awakening he experienced and the profound sense of purpose he found in serving others and embracing AA's community. The talk concluded with a message of gratitude and hope. Kent urged attendees to seek God's guidance and to embrace the fellowship and support that AA offers.
As he received a token of appreciation from the committee, he reminded everyone that the true credit for any help offered comes from God, and that continuous support and fellowship are available in AA. Kent's speech at Dr. Bob's Dinner was a poignant reminder of the strength and resilience found in community and spiritual dedication, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended.
