Bill Wilson

Bill Wilson was a co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), an influential movement aimed at helping individuals struggling with alcohol addiction. Born in 1895, Wilson became a prominent figure in the recovery community after his own battle with alcoholism. In 1935, he met surgeon Dr. Robert Smith, and together they developed the 12-step program that became the foundation of AA. This program emphasizes personal accountability and spiritual growth as essential components of recovery. Wilson's efforts have had a lasting impact, leading to the establishment of thousands of AA groups worldwide, offering support and hope to millions seeking to overcome addiction.
