Big Book History #16: Creating a Story - The 6 Step Myth

Bill Schaberg reviews Bill Wilson’s unreliability as a historian and then goes on to debunk his story of the Six Step Program - which Wilson claimed was the “pretty consistent procedure” for recovery before the Twelve Steps were written.
Having eliminated those alleged Six Steps as the forerunner and source of the Twelve Steps, Schaberg then presents extensive evidence to support his contention that the Twelve Steps - rather than being an encapsulation of the collective experience of early A.A. members - were instead a summary of Bill Wilson’s own experience as he got sober.
