So, my friends, even though I have heard about the Oxford group in the past, I am learning so much more as I revisit it. A couple of years ago I created a chart that compares the different ideas of the Oxford group to the 12 step program. I was amazed then, and I am still amazed, that every single group of ideas from the Oxford group relate directly to the 12 step program.
Of course, we know of the influence love Ebby Thatcher on Bill Wilson. Debbie was a good friend of Bill’s and I would go as far to say that he acted as Bill’s sponsor in his early days of sobriety.
Ebby, as I mentioned in the last episode, left a handwritten note for Bill as Bill was writing the 12 steps. The note contained six steps from the Oxford group of which Ebby was a member.
I have found more and more connections to the Oxford group, and at this point I feel I am more likely to believe that the crux of the 12 step program originated from the Oxford group. A few years ago I created a chart, (see below), that shows some of the tenets of the Oxford group and how they compare to the 12 steps. There are none that did not compare in some way and most compared very directly these tenets of the Oxford group and their comparison to the 12 step program are what I would like to speak about in this episode.
