The Early Akron A.A. Emphasis on Family Participation
The Early A.A. Family
Program. Many don't know and/or have never heard of the way in which the early
A.A. Christian Fellowship in Akron incorporated men, wives, kids, and relatives
in the program. Only men belonged. But the families were much involved. To see
the facts: www.dickb.com/annesm.shtml
Dr. Bob's wife, Anne Ripley
Smith, formed the first women's group in 1936 shortly after Akron Number One was
established on July 4, 1935. In other words, both the affected and the afflicted
worked together to accomplish what Bill Wilson later called "A Vision for You."
And DR. BOB and the Good Oldtimers is replete with references to the wives and
families that pulled together, fellowshipped together, prayed together, broke
bread together, had Quiet Time together, and stressed Bible study and reliance on
God.
