Can Alcoholism Be Cured? A Deep Dive with AA Historian Dick B.
“The early AA had a documented 75% success rate, and documented success rate in Cleveland. If you doubt the cure, just look at the articles in Illinois and California, and Missouri, and Arkansas, North Carolina, New York, and Connecticut. I think it's documented by the founders, by the articles, by the statistics themselves.”

In this eye-opening episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer sits down with Mr. Dick B., a leading authority on the history of Alcoholics Anonymous.
