    Among AA historians, Houck is widely considered a Fraud, a Fake. It’s doubtful he ever met Bill W., almost certainly wasn’t as ‘close’ as he would have everyone believe (witnesses all dead; no one could contradict him!), although HE WAS active in the Maryland OG in the late 1930s.

    Jim Houck’s sudden appearance in Maryland AA circa 1995 – with a pre-AA Sobriety Date and so many other odd stories that just didn’t smell right – was extremely controversial. He wouldn’t have been the first AA faker, and he won’t be the last.

    Most AA archivists and entities rejected Houck’s claims as bogus. Just because someone says something, doesn’t make it true. History must be based on Facts; beware of ‘story-tellers.’

      Thank you for this information. I needed to hear it. It validated my gut reaction to this royal con interview. I was a little pissed at the end

      This man was certainly not a fake . He lived an honest life and sacrificed so much to help others.

    This a great interview from a historical stand point.
    Speaking on a spiritual movement.
    From a recovery stand point he misses the mark and why he never left the O. G.
    James Houck admits in this interview that he realized he did have a problem w/ alcohol his was a problem of honesty.
    He didnt suffer from the allergy or obsession.
    Hence his disregard for the drunkologue.
    Our past is our greatest asset.
