About this listen
Jim Burwell: The Early History of Alcoholics Anonymous
One of the first longtime sober members of AA talks about the people, events, and development of ideas and practices that created AA:
- Ebby, Bill Wilson, and the Oxford Group
- Hank Parkhurst, Ruth Hock, and the writing of the Big Book
- How AA got the name Alcoholics Anonymous
- Jack Alexander and the Saturday Evening Post article
- The 12 Traditions
- The circumstances that led up to AA self-governance by the General Service Conference
Jim Burwell, a very early AA member and author of The Vicious Cycle Big Book Story, got sober on June 15, 1938. He started the first AA group in Philadelphia and afterwards, lived in San Diego until his death on September 8, 1974. He died sober and participated in AA throughout the years of his sobriety.
