Bill Wilson on 3 Legacies, Ebby's visits in 1934, the Program of Recovery & Carrying the Message

This 19-minute recording of Bill Wilson's talk explains the Three Legacies of AA - Recovery, Unity & Service. Bill gives an example of "service" (carrying the message of recovery) by talking about Ebby's 12-Step call described on p. 8 of Chapter 1, Bill's Story in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. The talk presents the 5-step program Ebby learned from members of the Oxford Group, especially Rowland Hazard, the "certain American businessman" described on p. 26. Dr. Jung told Rowland he needed a "vital spiritual experience" that Roland had to find on his own; Dr. Jung had tried without success to produce the "huge emotional displacements and rearrangements" associated with the spiritual experience that had helped alcoholics recover since early times. For many, this is a valuable recording; we recommend it.
