Dr. Jung, Dr. Silkworth and AA

Editor's Note--On Saturday, October 7, 1967, Bill W., AA's co-founder, celebrated his thirty-third AA anniversary in company with more than 3,000 AAs who gathered in the main ballroom of the New York Hilton for the impressive occasion, sponsored each year by New York AA Intergroup. Bill was the third and final speaker of the evening. Jim S. of the Commack Group on Long Island, and Kirsten T. of the Scarsdale, N. Y., Group had spoken. Then Bill told his own story to an audience that listened raptly to his new insights into the stages whereby he was changed from a "hopeless drunk" to the man who, with the late Dr. Bob S. of Akron, was to found a mutual-aid society for recovery from alcoholism, with members today numbering a half-million in more than ninety countries.
