90 years ago today

90 years ago today Dr Bob had returned from his trip to Atlantic City having previously spoken to Bill W he'd been on another spree throughout that trip. But the morning of 10th June 1935 Dr Bob took his last drink and endeavoured to stay sober using the ideas Bill W suggested.

Dr Bob never drank again and that date is taken as the founding of AA. Together they sought out other alcoholics in Akron and AA grew.

I like so many owe them so much.

@CuriousCouple25 From Dr Bob's Nightmare in the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous.

That was June 10, 1935, and that was my last drink. As I write nearly four years have passed.

As written by Bob himself in 1939.

Whatever, if that date is misremembered - doesn't matter. 10th June is always remembered as both Dr Bob's sobriety date and the start of AA.
