Thank you for the original Oxford Group documents. Reading the original books helps to understand the evil that was the Oxford Group.

Sad commentary, John. Get acquainted with Rev. Sam Shoemaker, an American leader, whom Bill Wilson called the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Do not be mislead by the selective presentation of the OG/MRA here.

For a fairer representation, and greater gratitude for AA’s break with the OG, read:

‘All I Could Never Be,’ by Beverly Nichols. May neo-OG sites refer to ‘The Fool Hath Said,’ Nichols glowing account of his infatuation with the Group. A year later, after learning that he had been deliberately deceived by the Group and suffering a near complete breakdown, Nichols had other things to say.

‘The Mystery of Moral Re Armament’ by Tom Driberg. Yes, Driberg may have been a fellow traveller and all that; but he did do his homework on Buchman, to the point of finding the original(s) of at least one of Buchman’s famous Amends letters. Also of interest to modern readers is the coded suggestion that Buchman may have been a self-loathing homosexual.

The OG was a kind of anti-AA. Obsessed with money, property and prestige, the Group discouraged Wilson’s work in New York and opposed AA’s existence as a free-standing entity. Please do not be fooled by the blandishments of fundamentalist infiltrators of AA. OUR primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to acheive sobriety. Leave evangelical empire building to the swamis and sociopaths.

Thank You very much!! You Rock!! Please if possible continue to expand the PDF book downloads on the Oxford Group as they are almost impossible to find and very expensive at the very least to buy. They have most diffenately improved my program and provided me the ability to bring something different to the table when I share and be more responsible in making sure the hand of AA is always there when topics like the Four Absolutes are brought up in a meetings.
Thank You and God Bless,
Bradley B.

Thanks to our inquiring friend about hispanic translations of my books. Puedo hablar espanol. However, though several have wanted to translate and been authorized to do so, that has not happened yet. Nonetheless, these days, the transformed materials can presently be pulled up on the internet. Muchas gracias. Ricardo

Thank you very much for this website. It is amazing. Where would I gain permission to use “Becoming Recovered” material for recovery meetings? I am in the process of establishing an alcohol/drug regeneration ministry and I believe “Becoming Recovered” would be awesome as a basic text. Thanks again for your wonderful work. God be with you all.

Jaeli,

Thanks for your post. I don’t know where you can find Dick’s books in Spanish. You might try writing to him at his site.
