In 1910, Searcy W. [right] was born in Funston, Texas, to James and Etta W.
He was an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous for 57 years. In 1948, at the urging of Bill W., Searcy began attending the Yale School of Alcohol Studies and later graduated. In 1950, he founded the Texas Clinic-Hospital for Alcoholism in Dallas. It was at this facility that Ebby T. sobered up in 1953; he remained sober for most of the next 13 years.
His motto was, “Trust God, clean house, help others,” to which he would add, “... and it doesn't have to be done in that order!”

In 1939, Bill W., Hank P., and Ruth Hock [left, respectively] spent a second day in Cornwall, New York, correcting the galley proofs of the book Alcoholics Anonymous. The number of changes was so extensive that Cornwall Press charged Works Publishing an additional $33 [~$754 in 2025] for “Author’s corrections,” noting that this amounted to 13.2 hours at $2.50 [~$57 in 2025] per hour. With the job finally complete, they found themselves with only half the money they owed the Cornwall Inn, prompting them to stay an extra night.
