Alcoholics Anonymous Founders’ Day

This socially significant event is on June 10 and is called Alcoholics Anonymous Founders Day. The event has an interesting history associated with people struggling with addiction to drinking. Awareness increases the likelihood of avoiding the problem of dependence on alcohol in the future.

History

Alcoholics Anonymous was formed in the USA in the state of Ohio in 1935. Two people wanted to get drunk but decided to refrain from their vicious desire and replaced drinking with sincere conversation. Their names were Dr. Bob and Bill W. The first group of people wishing to maintain a sober lifestyle was recruited in 1937, with 40 participants gathering. It is a useful holiday dedicated to an urgent social issue.

Interesting Facts

The 12 steps program was developed in 1938.

  1. Fundamental elements of the sobriety program are psychological mechanisms that need to be activated in the fight against addiction.
  2. The first step towards recovery is acceptance of the situation, an honest confession of powerlessness before the desire to drink, and awareness of the need for outside help.
  3. Psychological rehabilitation involves analytical work; it is necessary to find strangers or relatives who suffered from the behavior of a drunken person. Focus on helping others.

Actions aimed at encouraging discussion and analyzing one’s own condition are effective. No person should be left alone with this disease.
