AA history

I have an interest in AA history. It has added a whole new dimension to my recovery. Reading the big book and knowing a little about the many people referred to in its pages, about the context in which events were taking place ... well it has been so rewarding.

There are times I wish I lived in NYC and could visit the GSO archives at will, or that I lived in Akron and could get a sense of what the meetings are like there, maybe talk to a few old timers.

Instead, I search the internet, study “The Book That Started It All” and collect local history for preservation.

I’m just wondering if anyone else has found themselves caught up in the history of AA and how learning about it has been valuable to their recovery.
