William D. Silkworth, M.D., and the Origin and Development of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.)
Cite as: McPeake,J.D. (2012) William D. Silkworth, M.D., and the origin and development of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.). Dublin NH, 03444: The Dublin Group, Inc., www.dubgrp.com
Abstract
William Duncan Silkworth, M.D. (WDS) had an important impact on the origin and development of A.A. This paper examines his contribution through a study of his biography (2002), his extant published and non-published papers in that biography, two additional papers not included in the biography, and an examination of other published information about the history of A.A. WDS developed the ¡°illness¡± concept of alcoholism, he performed several remarkable clinical interventions without which A.A. would probably never have formed, provided most significantly, medical legitimacy for A.A. when few other medical professionals would. Through his published works he introduced the developing A.A. movement to the wider medical community focusing on treatment models, relapse, and co-morbidity, topics of active discussion in the addiction treatment literature to this day.

Dear AA?friends,
?
Bill Wilson had a spiritual experience that provided a release from his alcoholic obsession during the second week of December of 1934. He immediately thought about helping other alcoholics (p. 14). By the following June, he helped start our fellowship and only five years later published our first bulletin (attached). please note the amazing new members just five years later!?
?
I believe you will enjoy reading these first early bulletins. Much early AA history can be deduced from these.
?
In happy archive service,

Ebby T. crashes into kitchen
Dear AA history buffs,
?
I have often thought the story of Ebby Thacher crashing his Packard into the kitchen of a residence and asking for a cup of coffee to be an? urban legend, But indeed it was published in the local Vermont newspaper, The Bennington Banner, on January 12, 1925. To read this article, plus more about Ebby, please go to this link to page 17A.?

Re: First 100 members 1934-1939
Super thanks Gary... We were curious because there was supposedly a Charles C.? in the 1st. 100.
?I wasn't even sure if that was true..
Sincerly....Dano B.

Re: First 100 members 1934-1939
The John Barton AAHL message 8061 dated 12/21/2011 that represents his research regarding the first 100 sober does not include a Charles Cronin. The date of the 100th sober on the list has a sobriety date of March 1939, which means Charles Cronin could have gotten sober later in 1939 and not been on this list.

[Moderator comment: indeed, thank you!
