Levi Hobbs’s Reviews > Alcoholics Anonymous Comes of Age: A Brief History of A. A. > Status Update

It’s hard for me to imagine another organization that purposefully limits itself from getting too much money for its own spiritual good!

Bill W was radically self-sacrificing for the good of the group. Could I be that way in my own recovery?

Bill and Lois W were evicted multiple times because of their focus on helping other AAs at the expense of their own income!

What’s fascinating is how the radical traditions came to be despite that they seem they would never work!

I love getting more details about Bill W’s story.

There seems to be something about alcoholics that makes them want to evangelize entire cities single-handedly and set other trivial goals for themselves.

It’s really cool and intriguing to see Bill W’s story in more detail here.

Almost all the steps weren’t invented by AA at all, but borrowed from the Oxford Group. Fascinating.
