The Bill W. Plant

Did you know that the fellowship of AA has its own plant? Also known as Swedish Ivy, the Bill W. plant comes with a great story.

Bill W. passed away on January 24, 1971 in Miami, Florida. When his wife, Lois, returned to their home in New York, now known as Stepping Stones, she brought home the plant that had been in Bill's Florida hospital room. Lois cared for the plant until the mid 1980's, when she passed it on to Harriet Sevarino, beloved cook and companion of Bill and Lois for 35 years. Harriet passed the plant on to Michael M., a member of AA from Atlanta, Georgia. Lois asked Michael to pass it on to members of AA in Bill's memory. Michael did just that, sharing cuttings and offshoots of this plant with AA members all around the world. That is what recovery is all about, one alcoholic sharing with another. This is a true A. A. plant because every time you pass it on, two new shoots replace the one that was given away and your plant grows stronger.

This plant is also sometimes called a "Creeping Charlie" plant, and it's rumored that Ebby Thatcher brought it originally to Bill W. when he was in the Townes Hospital where he had his original spiritual conversion. Bill supposedly gave it this name after a friend of his named Charlie that kept creeping up on Bill's back porch to sleep.
