To be a prophet, to make a profit? The influences and motivations of Bill Wilson This is complex when it comes to penning what is now knows as The BIG book. With all the talk about what other people/books/new-thought gurus of the day influenced founders, no one today seems to talk about the best-sellers talked about constantly on the radio and in print at the time Wilson was preparing Alcoholics Anonymous. The April blog looks at the Think and Grow Rich and How To Win Friends And Influence People.
Decide for yourself how much of the zeitgeist of the day informed AA's beginnings Visit our blog for a preview of July 14th. CLICK the PIC to read more.

Available on YOUTUBE on Herb K's site from our co-hosting 1/2 day workshop Saturday April 23, 2022. Our topic is Step Two and Three. An atheist and a Big Book-literalist discuss the secular, practical path to AA sobriety's legitimate equivalency to the spiritual/religious version.

AA History: Growing in Understanding Group, Zoom ID 838 6045 3157 passcode TOGROWIN, Worldwide
From 1968 to the 2022 (soon to be released) AA Membership Survey in the USA we check our demographics for outreach to healthcare professionals and the general public. We also use the survey to take inventory of how we are doing: who is getting the help they need; who's being left behind. Looking at them collectively we can measure trends.
The Great Britain 2020 Membership Survey reveals two new talking points: How are AA members doing with the proliferation of Zoom (and other online) AA meetings? What do AA's really believe? Members answer if they believe in a higher power and how religious or secular they are.
This event is part of a series from the Growing in Understanding group.

this is "some of" the history of atheists and agnostics in AA. Secular AA has "widened AA's gateway" according to founders and "isn't REAL AA" according to fundamentalists. In this meeting we will take a historical look at gatherings: secular AA meetings, conferences and literature in AA.
(EDT, UTC-04) (EDT, UTC-04)
updated and revised history of secular AA: meetings and other gathering, the impact of Zoom, barriers and bridges, Secular AA: is it a different program or a different language?
