Climbing the Ladder
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 own alcoholism. 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 spiritually grounded pioneer program. They discuss a 1973 paper Tom wrote titled “The Twelve-Step Ladder to God Consciousness.” The paper is available in the show notes below. In this episode the 12-Steps are described as a spiritual ladder for the needs of modern men and women confronted with multiple addictions or those with a more serious need of a more spiritual solution.
