I have attached copies of the first and second drafts of ¡°Bill¡¯s Story.¡±? Both were typed by Ruth Hock, Bill¡¯s secretary, during spring of 1938. You will notice many differences between these two writings¡ªneither of these drafts were included verbatim in the ¡°Manuscript¡± (attached).? The Manuscript was finished by Bill Wilson in December of that year, but it was edited (changed) again during the early months of 1939. The Big Book was printed the following April.? ¡°So, ¡°Bill¡¯s Story¡± experienced almost a year of thoughtful changes¡ªno wonderful it is so powerful!?

These drafts tell us significant changes as ¡°Bill¡¯s Story¡± progressed. The Big Book Study Group of South New Jersey has produced a wonderful online illustration of the second draft with many interesting archival photos. Please download:
