I'm happy to say that there is a new relationship between all of the Anonymous Review projects (including Sponsor Magazine) and Silkworth.net, a long-standing source of academic and scholarly documentation for recovery and its history.
There are two other sites that as important for any serious student of 12-Step history and I hope to announce similar relationships with those excellent sites.

What Dr. Tiebout has to say is important, but he speaks in the academic, 1930s kind of language which becomes difficult to follow. The phrases loop around each other with many conditional statements inserted in the same sentence. It was clearly a paper intended for an academic audience, to the casual reader.
He had a special viewpoint as therapist for Bill Wilson and also for Marty Mann, a significant early member of AA and co-founder of the National Council on Alcoholism (now the National Council on Alcoholism and Addiction).
But it is worth reading so I will plod away at starting and stopping the recording so I can get the words on paper (or on the screen).
