Hi All -
The scientific literature abounds with research results regarding

the desease models for alcoholism. You can find excellent reviews

of these results written for general audiences in two books (both

available from Amazon.com):

Alcoholism (Paperback)by Milam and Ketchum

Katherine Ketcham, et al; Paperback by Ketchum et. al.

since the first book came out in the late 1970s. Neither qualifies

as a citation from the scientific literature but both are well

researched and cite leading references.

Perspective" in "Drug Discovery Today: Disease Models" Vol 2,

I can provide this article as a pdf file to any interested members of

publications and will be a good starting point for anyone interested

in delving into the (voluminous) primary scientific literature

covering this subject.

Art,

While I hold no particular brief for James Houck and none for

BtoB, I should point out that Bill and Fitz did go to OG House Parties in MD

(including Frederick) certainly in 1935-36 and possibly 1936-1937.

But the trips they took began at Fitz's farm in Cumberstone,

and while Fitz's son remembered Bill coming down and Bill and Fitz

spending time together at the farm before they went off house-partying (Fitz

Jr

was 13-14 at the time), to the best of his knowledge no one named James

Houck

was ever at the house, nor did he ever hear the name.

He has vivid memories of Bill and Fitz playing fiddle and banjo

and singing in the parlor, with Bill singing Northern songs and Fitz

singing Southern songs.
He remembers Jim B and Jim's cousin Churchy --but no James Houck.
He could of course have attended House Parties where Bill and Fitz were

present

-- probably did -- but not with them in any strong sense of the word with.

From: "Susan Krieger" (susank at qis.net)
James Houck came into the Baltimore AA office about 15 years ago or so. I

don't remember the exact year. His grandson is a member of AA. He wanted to

post his sobriety anniversary and would have made his sobriety older than

1935 or the beginning of AA. He said that he attended the Oxford Group. He

may have just started at that time to attend our local meetings. We would

not list his sobriety date to be older than AA. He has listed his name a

couple of times. I have had several calls about who was he. No one in this

area knew JH. I was at a Convention where in a count down he took away being

the oldest member of AA from our well known members. When he was in the

Office I asked him if he had ever had a drinking problem. His answer to me

was "I had an honesty problem."

My name is Bill H. from Area 29 Maryland.
As chairperson of the archives, I interviewed James Houck for ten hours. The

only real thing I got out of the interview is that he knew Bill W and Fitz

M. ( Our Southern Friend) from going to Oxford group meetings in Frederick,

Maryland. Bill would come down to Fitz's house outside of Annapolis and they

would

drive to Frederick, Maryland.

James Houck never mentioned a thing about being a recovering alcoholic in AA

and to my recollection of the tape, never attended AA His only claim to

fame is to be one of the only living people to know Bill and Fitz All he

talked

about was the Oxford Group and he really did not have much real regard for

AA.

That friend of James Houck's is Wally and yes he is still alive and for what

it's worth there is a grievance file through GSO about those workshops.

______________________________
From: Tommy H. (recoveredbygrace at

yahoo.com)

Several years ago I attended Wally`s Back to the Basics one day

workshop in Wilmington,NC.

James H. could not appear in person, but he did

address the crowd of around 100 AA men and women by

teleconference from the rest home he is staying at. I have never heard

James say he was an active member of AA, but I have heard him say he had

spoke in numerous one day workshops hosted by Wally P. Those workshops

were mostly attended by AA`s. I have copies of several tapes of some of

those talks. Those talk were given in several formats, including a

Christian Walk thru the steps of AA.

James seemed more interested in teaching others about Two Way Prayer

then talking about AA .

hi history lovers,

a victim of crooked thinking, directly caused by the action of alcohol

on his brain?"
One of our members asked why would Bill put such an important piece of

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

regarding Genetics of Alcoholism

From: dayatatime1950 . . . . . . . . . . . . 1/11/2006 11:27:00 PM
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Hi All -
I have had a lot of responses to my earlier posting regarding

scientific evidence of the genetics of alcoholism. As a result I have gone

back

to the literature and looked for a more seminal publication with a more

general

treatment. Truth be told, looking stuff up is kind of a hobby of mine.

Anyway, I have found:
"The genetics of alcoholism" Current Opinion in Genetics and

Development, Volume

8, Issue 3, June 1998, Pages 282-286

Alison M Goate and Howard J Edenberg

Again, I can supply anyone who is interested with a pdf file of this

article if you will write to me direct at:

(dayatatime1950 at yahoo.com)
It is much more readable than the other article I cited

previously. In it the authors state "evidence from twin, adoption and

family

stuides suggest alcoholism is a complex trait resulting from the action of

multiple interacting genes and the environment". They go on to describe

efforts

to identify the specific genes that are associated with alcoholism in

humans.

Some progress has been made

toward this goal.

Regards,
Russ Hillard

Sustained Full Remission - This specifier is used if

The DSM is not concerned about drinking or not

drinking. It relates to meeting the specific criteria

is not about abstinence as a criteria.
