Dewey Spies | Among AA's Earliest Members | Michigan State Convention | Historic AA Talk

🎙️ A remarkable voice from the early days of Alcoholics Anonymous. Join Dewey Spies of San Mateo, California, as he shares his experience, strength, and hope in this rare historical recording from the Michigan State AA Convention. Dewey achieved sobriety in Akron, Ohio, in 1939 during the Fellowship's formative years. He is widely recognized among AA historians as being one of Alcoholics Anonymous' earliest members and is frequently identified as being among the Fellowship's first one hundred members, though AA's General Service Office notes that no official membership list exists to verify those early records. His story provides a firsthand glimpse into the principles, fellowship, and spirit that helped shape Alcoholics Anonymous in its earliest years. More than a historical recording, this is a living testimony from someone who witnessed AA's remarkable beginnings and dedicated his sobriety to helping others. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ Speaker: Dewey Spies (San Mateo, CA) 📍 Event: Michigan State AA Convention 📚 Category: Early AA Pioneer ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌐 *Explore Thousands of Historical AA Recordings* Recovery Speakers is dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of Alcoholics Anonymous through rare speaker recordings, historical documents, photographs, and educational resources. ➡️ Visit: https://RecoverySpeakers.org ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❤️ If you enjoyed this recording, please Like, Subscribe, and Share to help preserve the voices and history of Alcoholics Anonymous for future generations. #AA #AlcoholicsAnonymous #AAHistory #Recovery #Sober #Sobriety #12Steps #BigBook
