Dear AA history friends and buffs,
Rowland Hazard was first treated by doctor Carl Jung in 1926--not 1931 as is generally thought. This date is? important because it was the first event leading directly to the beginning of AA? e.g.: Doctor Jung told Rowland Hazard that his alcoholic recovery was dependent on a vital spiritual experience (p. 27 of the Big Book). Rowland was sober in 1934 when he carried his recovery message to Ebby Thacher during the summer of? 1934.? ?Ebby then carried his sober message to Bill Wilson later that year. Of course, Bill carried his sober message to Dr. Bob during the summer of 1935. and you know the rest of the story. (Yes, the spellings of Rowland Hazard and Ebby Thacher are correct).?
