» Alcoholics Anonymous, was thrown together from a cluttered spiritual toolshed
Alcoholics Anonymous, was thrown together from a cluttered spiritual toolshed: Vermont town meetings, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and the Oxford Group, an Evangelical movement fashionable in the thirties (at least until its founder, Frank Buchman, found a little too much to admire in the Third Reich). The Oxford Group preached salvation based on six steps, and Wilson, dragged to a meeting by a former drinking buddy, saw the light—or at least enough of it. Along with the co-founder of AA, Bob Smith, he became a national celebrity.
