Jim Burwell: The Early History of Alcoholics Anonymous
One of the first longtime sober members of AA talks about the people, events, and development of ideas and practices that created AA:
- Ebby, Bill Wilson, and the Oxford Group
- Hank Parkhurst, Ruth Hock, and the writing of the Big Book
- How AA got the name Alcoholics Anonymous
- Jack Alexander and the Saturday Evening Post article
- The 12 Traditions
- The circumstances that led up to AA self-governance by the General Service Conference
Jim Burwell, a very early AA member and author of The Vicious Cycle Big Book Story, got sober on June 15, 1938. He started the first AA group in Philadelphia and afterwards, lived in San Diego until his death on September 8, 1974. He died sober and participated in AA throughout the years of his sobriety.

Marty Mann The first woman to get sober in Alcoholics Anonymous tells her story in a 1968 talk at San Francisco, CA. This is the best example of Marty Mann recovery story I have heard. The sound quality is very good, which is unusual for a 1968 AA recording. Great audiobook about recovery - historic and enjoyable. Marty was the first woman to achieve lasting sobriety in AA, founder of National Council on Alcoholism, author of at least two books on alcoholism, author of AA's The Big Book story "Women Suffer, Too", and co-founder of The AA Grapevine.

In Writing the Big Book, William H. Schaberg presents an exciting, research-driven narrative of the history of the book, Alcoholic Anonymous, and the formative years of A.A. Granted extensive access to the group's archives along with several other sources, the author reveals the early Fellowship's conflicts and personalities, successes and failures, and dispels many of the myths found in such canonical texts as Dr. Bob and the Good Old Timers, Alcoholics Anonymous Comes of Age, and A Brief History of the Big Book.

In The Gift of Failure, leading conservative commentator Dan Bongino identifies failures in his life and how those failures led to bigger and better things. With the same laser-focused intensity that has made him one of America’s most popular voices, Bongino uncompromisingly cuts to the heart of failure with a collection that is inspirational, motivational, entertaining, touching, and redemptive.

Great pre and current AA history
I love that he was with Bill a year and a half before the big book was written. And dad he lived with Bill for a few months. Also, I learned about hank parker who I had never heard of, and who we owe our lives to.
