Last Tuesday, June 10th, was the 90th anniversary of the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous and the topic of my post. My co-author Joy Jones, and I had the privilege of attending the Founders Day weekend in Akron last weekend. This week’s post offers all readers – in recovery or not – a taste of the amazing energy and magic we experienced.
Today is the 90th anniversary of the June 10, 1935, meeting of two men with serious drinking problems. Alcoholic drinking for decades led Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith to despair; it was a physical, economic, and spiritual bottom that was destroying them and their families. From this meeting, Alcoholics Anonymous was born. Today’s post celebrates this miracle and all its good that has changed the world over the past 90 years.
