On every page we have listed about HISTORY you will find links. Many folks
have done
some wonderful research and documentation. Although I may have
some documentation, I certainly don't have all that Dick B has to offer! I love to read Dick
B's site! I am not looking to re-invent the wheel, when so much is already
documented. I have listed many other 12 step history sites for you to see.
I hope you enjoy them and, please
