Bill Schaberg has arguably written the definitive history of how the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous was written.  Bill produced “Writing The Big Book,”  and his wife calls it, “the other big book,” because it's 650 pages, before the appendixes. Bill completed the book after 7 years of research from the source material.  Bill is a rare book collector and seller and it all started with his purchase of Jim Burwell's copy of the multilith copy of the original Big Book.    In Part 2 of the interview with Bill Schaberg, we discuss:What really happened when Ebby Thatcher visited Bill Wilson (The Kitchen Table Story)The problem with most AA historyThe many stories Bill told on how the steps were writtenWho really wrote, “To Wives,” and the urban legends about this chapterHank Parkhurt's role in writing the Big Book and his later resentment of Bill WilsonCheck out Bill Schaberg's site writingthebigbook.com where you can pick up his book, Writing the Big Book.Learn more about Hank Parkhurst at hankparkhurst.comWe have a favor to ask.

Lois Wilson had the original manuscript that went to the printer in 1939.  It had the corrections penciled in and notations and comments written by bill and others. It is a powerful historical document and reflects the thinking of the authors and the thought that went into each word. It was auctioned in 2010 and…

Sharon Kyle is a multidisciplinary artist best known for her unique use of texture and materials. Sharon often incorporates found ordinary objects like rusted metal, wood, paper and cloth, alongside industrial materials such as concrete, asphalt and insulation foam. Sharon’s work transforms old, rusted, discarded materials into elegant but provocative statements on aging, gender, and cultural values. In this conversation, Sharon Kyle discusses how her early experiences in real estate and construction influenced her choice of materials, how she made the plunge to return to college in her early 30s, and how she supplemented her early art practice with sales positions working with educational materials.Sharon's infectious laugh and candid discussion of aging make this a particularly engaging conversation.Find Sharon:Sharon's Website:   www.sharonkyle.artSharon's Instagram:  sharonkyleartworksMentioned:Janet Fish, contemporary American realist artist  learn moreReal Artists Don’t Starve, by Jeff Goins  available hereLois Wilson, American folk artist learn moreTreasures from the Rubble, documentary about artist Lois Wilson  watch hereFayette Art Museum (Fayette, AL)  learn moreFind Me, Kristy Darnell Battani:  Kristy's Website:  www.kristybattani.comKristy's Instagram:  kristybattaniartDid you enjoy hearing about Sharon's plunge?

Today we are going to be looking at the life of Lois Wilson, an amazing example and one of this century's most important women. She had to learn and grow through some tough times. "I believe that people are good if you give them half a chance and that good is more powerful than evil. The world seems to me excruciatingly, almost painfully beautiful at times, and the goodness and kindness of people often exceed that which even I expect." This is a statement by Lois Burnham Wilson who is the co-founder of Al Anon Family groups. She is the wife of Bill Wilson who wrote The Big Book for Alcoholics Anonymous. There is a new movie out about her story called When Love is Not Enough. It is a very ruff story to watch. My family and I stumbled on it the other night and watched it. And at even ½ hour in they are still working towards the bottom of the story and how many times Bill relapsed. We wanted to turn it off because it was so heavy and showing all the problems they were experiencing. It was so worth it. It was a tough life and they never got back what they lost. But they made such a difference in the lives of people. Lois found such good in people, even those who were struggling with addiction. Lois has been touted as one of the 20th century most important women. It is due to her tireless vision and efforts that the Al-anon organization is what it is today and why it continues to attract so many members with its message of hope and inspiration. What does this mean to you and I? Maybe you don't have an addict in your life. This amazing woman has much to offer in her story. Her life didn't turn out how she expected it. Yet she did not lose faith in anything. She found a way to make a difficult situation into one that changed countless lives. I'm betting that one of the biggest hurdles you will face is overcoming the doubters in your life. If you are like me one of the largest cynic might even be yourself. You may hold the belief that you are not good, smart, or rich enough. Maybe that your dreams are silly. It may be that you heard that from a parent or respected person and took it to heart. If you look at Lois's life it is obvious that both she and Bill suffered from these thoughts. You do not have to stop these thoughts or not have them in order to do something great if so none of us would do anything. Like bravery is not the absence of fear but the action of moving through fear and doing things despite the fear. Many of us fear that we will fail. But we only fail if we quit. There are ups and downs to all of life. Each thing we do will have slopes. We will scale mountains and plunge down. Our lives are meant to have both. So if we dive down and keep going it is not failure. The key to ascending towards success is in perpetual action. This is also something that Lois experienced. She felt she had failed when he drank , when she was unable to have children, and when she lost the house. There was a lot of pain with each of those experiences. But she never stopped. She kept moving and trying new things to get to where she wanted to be. Please subscribe to this podcast and leave a rating and review, to help others find this podcast. Also join the Facebook group.

For this episode I interview Lois Wilson, a resident at The Village of Riverside Glen. Lois is an Ontario resident by birth growing up near Mississauga and Brampton in Churchville. She worked for a time at the Churchville General Store before studying to be a secretary, and later becoming a teacher. Her life has been surrounded by close extended family - growing up her family's farm was right next to the farm of her father's brother and sister, and they all grew apples and shared farm machinery and sold produce at the St. Lawrence Market, and later her strong bond was with her nieces, one of whom encouraged her to choose Guelph for retirement-living. There have been difficult losses, but Lois has lots of awesome family to help get her through this difficult time. Thank you to Lois for sharing your story!This interview was originally recorded on October 20th 2020 Get on the email list at bridgingthesocialdistance.substack.com

This story is actually the edited and re-titled version of the story “Traveler, Editor, Scholar” which was originally published in the First Edition.  A sizable portion of the beginning of that story was omitted from the second edition and there were also minor word changes throughout. If you listen to the earlier two-story episode that begins with the story “A Different Slant”, you will hear what was cut out from this story during the editing process for the Second Edition. The “News Hawk” was written by Jim S., a pioneer member of the Akron Group, who you met in an earlier episode as the ghost writer of at least a dozen stories in the First Edition. In compiling them, Jim provided Bill W. with an ample number of stories from the Akron contingent during the year prior to the publication of the Big Book.  Jim’s indispensable work not only helped him stay sober, it was critical to the timely printing of Alcoholics Anonymous. Years later, a reminiscent Lois Wilson complimented Jim’s efforts, saying that the Akron stories in the First Edition were better written than those from New York. Interestingly, despite Jim’s historically significant contribution to the Big Book, his story was omitted from the Fourth Edition. Howard L, sober since January 1, 1988, presents this inspired reading of the Big Book and encourages listeners to revisit earlier podcast episodes that feature the main chapters and stories in the First Edition of the Big Book.

Chapter 8's actual authorship has been widely speculated upon since it was first written in 1938. Many believe that Bill W.’s wife, Lois Wilson, may have written or contributed to the writing of this seminal chapter. Indeed, it might have made sense for her to do so. As she related in her memoirs “Lois Remembers”, published in 1979, during the initial four years of Bill’s sobriety, they “had begun to realize how distorted the relationships in families of alcoholics could be, how important it was for families to understand about alcoholism and to rearrange their own thinking.” According to Lois, she had expected Bill to ask her to write the Chapter “To Wives”, and perhaps the following one, “The Family Afterward.” But when she shyly suggested it, “he said no; he thought the book, except for the stories, should all be written in the same style.”    “I have never known why he didn’t want me to write about the wives,” Lois remembered, “and it hurt me.” When questioned about it, years after Bill’s death in 1971, Lois admitted it was a subject that still made her mad to think about Bill’s insistence on writing the chapter himself. But back in 1938, Lois said their lives were so full, she didn’t have time to think about it much. Howard L, sober since January 1988, presents an inspired reading of the Big Book and encourages listeners to revisit earlier podcast episodes that feature the main chapters and stories in the First Edition of the Big Book.

The United Church of Canada appoints its first woman moderator, Lois Wilson. Born April 8, 1927, Lois Wilson attained her bachelor of arts and bachelor of divinity degrees from United College in Winnipeg. Wilson was ordained as a United church minister in 1965 and engaged in team ministry with her husband, Dr. Roy Wilson, for 17 years.

Mark’s favorite piece of literature to use for outreach purposes is the service tool “Best of Public Outreach” (P-90) in Episode 7’s part 4 of 5.  He shares how public outreach is what first got him into service in Al-Anon & calls out a “Getting Started” part on page 7, as well as pages 12-19 for several lists of outreach ideas.  He also explains how the workbook helped with a big outreach project he was involved with that was done in honor of Al-Anon’s founder, Lois Wilson, & how projects don’t need to be big to be effective.  Lastly, we discuss what it’s like to talk to people that are not familiar with the Al-Anon program.
