Alcoholics Anonymous
began in 1935 at Akron, Ohio, as the outcome of a meeting between a well-known surgeon and a New York broker.
2.
I failed to persuade my
broker friends to send me out looking over factories and managements, but my wife and
I decided to go anyway.
3.
But when the broker gave him Dr. Silkworth's description of alcoholism and its hopelessness, the physician began to pursue the spiritual remedy for his malady with a willingness he had never before been able to muster.
4.
Six months earlier, the broker had been relieved of his drink obsession by a sudden spiritual experience, following a meeting with an
alcoholic friend who had
been in contact with the Oxford Groups of that day.
5.
The broker had gone to Akron on a business venture which had collapsed, leaving him greatly in fear that he might start drinking again.
6.
7.
Prior to his journey to Akron, the broker had worked hard with many alcoholics on the theory that only an alcoholic could help an alcoholic, but he had succeeded only in keeping
sober himself.
8.
When the broker returned to
New York in the fall of 1935, the first A.A. group had actually been formed, though no one realized it at the time.
