Henrietta's Comments

Much of the story relating to the phone calls at the Mayflower has been labeled as false by one of the people who would have known about what actually transpired there.

Henrietta Seiberling, the person who arranged the meeting between Bill and Dr. Bob wrote to an early AA member telling him her side of the story. In that undated (ca. Early 1950's) letter, Henrietta wrote the following about what Bill had written in the RHS Memorial Grapevine issue.

In a very vicious display of how to train convicts and arrested criminals "confrontational therapy" Beyond Scared Straight is still being aired on the A&E network. I just viewed Oklahoma County and what I saw was very disturbing. The "documentary" showed how the Oklahoma Jail trains inmates how to completely demoralize other people. The vicious animals that they unleashed upon teenagers sent to the program for being defiant to their parents and minor behavior problems were arrested for murder and drug charges and many were still waiting for a court appearance.

Prison gangs often have far reaching control over other people incarcerated in numerous parts of the US. One incident happened in September 2009 when Michael Devonn Davis, 23 reached out in the Warren County Regional Jail in Bowling Green, Ky and attacked government witness Adam Battle DURING an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting held at the jail. The incident appears to have been ordered by a Los Angeles-based Rollin 60’s Crips Gang whose leader is currently in jail and was found out about in April 2013 court documents.

The Internet is currently all abuzz with the supposed proof that just the "taste" of beer causes a dopamine reaction in people with alcoholic tendencies and a family history of alcoholism (read you had relatives identified as alcoholics). The research was released 15 April 2013 in the Neuropsychopharmacology Journal. The result of the experiment? Just the "taste" of beer without any negligible alcohol content MAY cause stronger cravings in people with a history of alcoholism in their families. Some of the headlines this report has made.....

Stepping Stones, the pilgrimage spot of Alateen, Al-Anon and Alcoholics Anonymous is planning the 62nd Annual Stepping Stones Family Groups Picnic, 12 noon-5pm on Saturday June 1, 2013.

The fifth edition of the Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM-5, DSM-V) is planning on hitting the book stores next month. The DSM-5 is the new bible of the liberal artists that define mental illness, addiction and the substances or actions that they diagnose people with for a few hundred dollars an hour and then send them to rehab at about a $1000 a day. With this new tool, scam artists will be able to spawn newer cottage industries that they can get insurance companies to pay for.

Mr. Russell even ended up marrying one of his nurses.
