On June the 10th, 1935, at the Gatehouse of the Seiberling Mansion in Akron, Ohio..
A New York City Stockbroker Bill W met with an Akron, Ohio, Surgeon Dr. Bob.
This date and location 90 years ago, is where and when A.A. began. Yes it took time and several years, but A.A. began here on this date.
The below article from Wikipedia is extremely thorough in presenting A.A.'s history.

All of us owe an enormous debt of gratitude for our recovery in The Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous.
So thankful for God, AA, and all Friends of Bill & Dr. Bob! Happy 90th birthday! And you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the road of happy destiny, may God bless you and keep you until then!
ReplyDeleteGinny you, along with each and everyone of us who are enjoying sobriety and all of the other "Fruits of Recovery" that A.A. has, and continues to give us, as we all trudge the road of happy destiny are truly blessed !! What to do?? To quote Bill W: "Pass It On" to the next newcomer and struggling old timer that we come in contact with.
