Bill W’s Message to AA Groups About Adopting the 12 Traditions
In 1947, Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill Wilson traveled across the United States and Canada to share an urgent message with AA groups: the fellowship needed the Twelve Traditions to ensure its survival. Many members at the time were skeptical, unaware of the challenges and growing pains AA was facing as it spread across the nation.
This historic recording captures Bill’s powerful presentation in Memphis, Tennessee, where he shared:
- His own personal story of recovery and meeting Dr. Bob.
- The story of AA #3, Bill Dotson, and the birth of the first AA groups.
- How the Big Book was written and published.
- The rapid growth of AA in the 1940s.
- The unveiling of the “Twelve Points to Assure Our Future” (later known as the Twelve Traditions).
Bill explains why both the fellowship and individual alcoholics need the Traditions—without them, AA could splinter and collapse; with them, it could thrive in unity and purpose. He then presents each of the Twelve Traditions one by one, cutting to the heart of their meaning with clarity and conviction.
💡 Why You’ll Love It:
- A rare chance to hear Bill W. in his own words during a pivotal moment in AA history.
- Inspiring and educational for both newcomers and longtime members.
- A living piece of AA heritage, showing how the Twelve Traditions became essential to the fellowship.
- Perfect for group study, personal listening, or as a historical keepsake.
This recording is more than history—it’s a timeless reminder of the wisdom, humility, and vision that continue to guide Alcoholics Anonymous today.
