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.
Ever pondered whether alcoholism can truly be cured? 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. They explore a question that has sparked much debate: Can alcoholics really be cured? Drawing from the early days of AA, Dick B. sheds light on the remarkable success stories that many have never heard.
He talks about the power of determination, willpower, and a profound spiritual awakening in overcoming alcoholism. The conversation also highlights an informal group of men in Akron, Ohio, who found their way to sobriety and formed what would become a life-saving fellowship. Dick B. emphasizes the importance of admitting powerlessness and seeking divine help, sharing how faith played a crucial role in the early success of AA.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. It challenges conventional beliefs and offers a fresh perspective on the potential for recovery.
