“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.
