How Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) Came to Los Angeles
Here in the AA Blog, we regularly explore the rich and long history of Alcoholics Anonymous as an organization. And although we’ve explored the history of Alcoholics Anonymous in the past, each state and major city has an interesting story of exactly how A.A. began in their area.
The following are just a few excerpts from “How A.A. Came to Los Angeles”, available at <span style=”font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: www.LACOAA.org
“We know that Alcoholics Anonymous started in Akron, Ohio, in June 1935, when two drunks started taking to each other: two male drunks—Bill W. and Bob S. Alcoholics Anonymous started in Los Angeles when two women started talking to each other—and neither on was an alcoholic! The lady with the book was Kaye Miller and Genevieve Dodge was the lady looking for a solution to the mystery of alcoholism.” –LACOAA.org
