It was 61 years ago when Bill and Bob opened their doors whereby our brothers could lean their tired heads against their shoulder to rest a while. The entire 12-Step communities offer thanks to them.
Bill Wilson drank four beers on the subway before entering Towns Hospital on Tuesday, December 11th, 1934. These were has last alcoholic drinks. A few days later he experienced a vital spiritual transformation by following the “neat little formula” offered by his one time drinking buddy.
We’ve learned that we must share the peace that we have found, (with our actions)…whereby, the way is opening at last to us. Thanks to Bill and Bob, an ancient door is swinging free again; a long forgotten Word re-echoes in our memory, and gathers clarity as we are willing once again to hear.
