It says here on page two forty-nine by Dr. Thibault, a psychiatrist, was the first one that showed any interest in Alcoholics Anonymous.
W

He was, uh, Marty Mann, the first, first woman, uh, alcoholic.
W
13:10Wesley ParishSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He was her doctor at the time he, she, she came into AA.
W
13:15Wesley ParishSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And how she got to AA was that the Big Book had been finished, and they decided before they would take it to the printers that they would make four hundred mimeographed copies of it and take it out and distribute it among people, professional people, that was interested in alcoholism, and that they would check it, and if there was anything in this book that would offend them, well, they wanted to know about it so that, so that they could change the wording of it, and so forth and so on.
W
13:50Wesley ParishSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And so they, they distributed this four hundred books, and so that, uh, the, uh, mimeographed copies.

She would get drunk and, and, uh, regardless of what he did for her, she, she was right back in his hospital.

K
7:22Kirsten JohnsonHOST
I get it if you've been indoctrinated to believe that AA ideology is true, which I would argue a lot of society is, culture is, and very strategically, by the way.
K
7:33Kirsten JohnsonHOST
The first lady of Alcoholics Anonymous, Marty Mann, spent a lot of effort.
K
7:37Kirsten JohnsonHOST
In fact, she made it like her life purpose to literally to systematically indoctrinate different institutions in the United States, but also globally.
K
7:49Kirsten JohnsonHOST
She would give sometimes two to five speeches a day, indoctrinating people into AA ideology.

K
16:01Kirsten JohnsonHOST
That is Manson bashing.
K
16:04Kirsten JohnsonHOST
Sounds bananas, right? It's bananas when we look at it through a slightly different angle.
K
16:08Kirsten JohnsonHOST
And the reason why I think it's so important to look at it through a slightly different angle is because globally, thanks, Marty Mann, the nation has been indoctrinated into AA is the way.
K
16:18Kirsten JohnsonHOST
So people are indoctrinated into AA ideology and the belief systems of AA without realizing it.
