Dr. BOB and the Good Oldtimers
Chapter 6. Two alcoholics meet
Each morning, there was a devotion, he recalled. After a long silence, in which they awaited inspiration and guidance, Anne would read from the Bible. "James was our favorite," he said. "Reading from her chair in the corner, she would softly conclude, 'Faith without works is dead.'"
This was a favorite quotation of Anne's, much as the Book of James was a favorite with early A.A.'s-so much so that "The James Club" was favored by some as a name for the Fellowship.
Sue also remembered the quiet time in the mornings-how they sat around reading from the Bible. Later, they also used The Upper Room, A Methodist publication that provided a daily inspirational message, inter denominational in its approach.
"Then somebody said a prayer," she recalled. "After that, we were supposed to say one ourselves. Then we'd be quiet. finally, everybody would share what they got, or didn't get. This lasted for at least a half hour and sometimes went as long as an hour."

God will constantly disclose more to you and to us.
Ask Him in your morning meditation what you can do each day for the man who is still sick.
The answers will come, if your own house is in order.
But obviously you cannot transmit something you haven't got.
See to it that your relationship with Him is right, and great events will come to pass for you and countless others.
This is the Great Fact for us.

Alcoholics Anonymous - Back To The Forties Class #5
Steps 10, 11 and 12
Now that we have worked steps 1 - 9, how do we continue to grow and face the challenges of day to day living. The answer is work the rest of the steps daily in our lives. In this class we discuss Step 10, 11 and 12. Personal inventory, meditation and carrying the message and working with others.
We have been truly blessed.
Thank you for taking the time to listen.
Back To The Forties...
Welcome to Back To the 40's - How Alcoholics Anonymous worked in the 1940's.
During the first decade after the publication of the Big Book...
The recovery rate from alcoholism within the fellowship of AA was 75%.
AA's program, as practiced then, was quite different from the program that is practiced today.
To produce such an astounding recovery rate, what was done in the early days of AA?
These five classes will provide an in depth look how this was done.
Discover this in depth look at: Taking the 12 steps right out of the the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous!
"To show other alcoholics precisely how we have recovered in the main purpose of this book." (Alcoholics Anonymous, pg xiii)
That's how it was done back in the early days and it worked.
"Here are the steps we took, which are suggested as a program of recovery."
(Alcoholics Anonymous, pg 59)

So what happened?
In the 1950's , with the publishing of the 12x12, groups started to change from "here are the steps we took" to here are the steps we'll just study. There was no such thing as "step Study" prior to 1952.
A carefull reading of the Big Book shows a certain timeline for working the steps, its in the stories, Bill worked the steps with Ebby in Towns, 9 days sober.
Dr Bob met Bill several times over a course of a few weeks, got drunk in Atlanta, and then did his amends in one day.
Ernie T ( I think on page 291) describes going through the steps with Dr Bob in an afternoon.
Clarence Snyder (home brewmeister) often said "give me a willing drunk on Friday and I'll show you a recovered alcoholic on Monday"
None of which agrees with what I hear in the rooms today.
1940's style meetings in Cleveland, saw newcomers being taken through the steps in seminar fashion , in groups of 20
