Glenn F Chesnut Oxford groups and AA

Kevin Hanlon, one of the filmmakers behind the Emmy-winning PBS Documentary Bill W: The Creative Force Behind Alcoholics Anonymous, created an incredible tribute video featuring never-before-seen interview clips with the late A.A. historian, Glenn Chesnut.

I am feeling pretty low at the moment i have no idea how i found this short video. He described just how simple it all can be. As they say "it's a simple programme for complicated people" I am a few years down the road and struggling if truth be known. Yet as he said I have spoken tonight to an old friend in AA. And just as Glenn said he listened to me with grace kindness and love. Maybe just maybe that's it. I am not meant to know. Thank you Glenn you really did strike a note with me tonight.

Thanks for your kind words about my above tribute to Glenn Chestnut . And I'm praying that you get to that light at the end of the tunnel sooner than later . I appreciate your candor about your own plight . I too have had to wrestle with those demons of compulsion and addiction , be they gambling , alcohol , or whatever . So I can truly empathize with you . Mr. Chestnut's enlightening counsel , both on addictive behaviour and spiritual development , has been fruitful for me .

What an unexpected delight to discover video here of commentary by Glenn F Chesnut . In the last year I've read two of his books -- " Infinity and the Proofs for the Existence of God " , and " God and Spirituality " , both of which are troves of edifying counsel and inspirational erudition . He is a true renaissance man . Both of those volumes are written by this scholar in clear and understandable expression , a talent that is often absent in the communication of subtle concepts by otherwise intellectual authors . Sadly , I believe Mr. Chesnut has passed on . God bless him , and you too sir , for uploading this most appreciated video .

Dr. Bob did obtain and maintain his sobriety in the early days in the Oxford Group.
