A History of Alcoholics Anonymous - May 2014

“A History of Alcoholics Anonymous” was presented on Tuesday May 20, 2014 by James Balmer, Dawn Farm President. Recent research provides compelling evidence supporting the effectiveness of Twelve Step-based recovery programs as sources of healing, recovery support and recovery maintenance for people with alcohol and other drug addiction. The oldest, largest and best-known Twelve Step program is Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) This program will present a fascinating overview and slide show describing the history and development of the Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) program, including its founding and growth. The discussion will include a brief overview of the Twelve Steps of A.A.
This presentation is part of the Dawn Farm Education Series, a FREE, annual workshop series developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information about chemical dependency, recovery, family and related issues. The Education Series is organized by Dawn Farm, a non-profit community of programs providing a continuum of chemical dependency services.
