Climbing All the Way

from Father Bill W. Hosted by Father Bill W.

Tom Powers, Jr. grew up in the shadow of Bill Wilson but that didn’t keep him from descending into the pit of his ownalcoholism. To climb out of his illness he needed to find a ladder and climb it as if his life depended on it because it did. In this series, Father Bill interviews Matt D. archivist for All Addicts Anonymous, the 12-Step Fellowship Tom and his father founded to reflect the original and more spirituallygrounded pioneer program. They discuss a 1973 paper Tom wrote titled “The Twelve-Step Ladder to God Consciousness.” In this episode they discuss the danger of climbing only partially up the ladder. Show notes: “The Twelve-Step Ladder to God Consciousness.” All Addicts Anonymous website: https://alladdictsanonymous.org/
