In the late 1950s Bill O. & Arbutus O. of Texas began the Midwest Tape Library. The mission that they adopted was “to preserve the history of the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous from its inception in 1935 and to continue as an ongoing record. Particular attention has been given to the early pioneers and founders.” Bill and Arbutus relied on the voluntary contributions of members who shared their goals.

Bill O. dedicated nearly his entire 48 years of sobriety to helping to carry the message of hope to alcoholics all over the world. His wife Arbutus is one of the pioneering members of Al-Anon. Many groups and loners alike were assisted in their recovery by using tape recordings provided by Bill & Arbutus. Bill O. had a dream that this library would be available to all future generations of A.A., Al-Anon and other 12 step fellowships members, so please feel free to listen to and download any of the speakers you find here.
