His own survival depended on helping another drunk. He could not stay sober alone. But all his old drinking buddies, wary of lecture and reform, had refused his help. Bill W. searched through the phone book for someone who might put him in touch with another alcoholic. It was in the ‘desperate need to ‘save himself from the one drink that could lead all the way’ to insanity or death. The phone call led to a meeting with the late Dr. Bob S., a physician who had vir- tually destroyed his practice and reputation because of alco- hol. This was the last major step in the formation of the A.A, recovery program — the discovery that alcoholics have mutual need for one another.

SPORTS SPECIAL—Martina Navratilova, the number one-yanked tennis star on the women's pro tennis Circuit, fulfilled one of her fantasies recently, and it wash't on the tennis court. Like millions of other American women, Martina engrosses herself in the daily TV soap opera grind. But Martina actually had a ‘walk-on’ role in her favorite soap, ‘All My Children. Sure beats Czechoslovakian programming. The, co-founders of A.A. gathered in a third member almost immediately, but it was slow going thereafter. Six months later, Bill returned to New York to start a group. A third group was formed in Cleveland. By 1938, there were only 60 members. Rashly, they decided to publish a book in- corporating the experience and thinking of those who had already found sobriety. The ° title — “Alcoholics Anonymous” — gave the fellowship its name. In spite of their high hopes, the amateur author-publishers were left with 5,000 copies of a book that no one seemed to want. The printer's bill was unpaid, and on one occasion they were nearly evicted from their modest headquarters. A.A. gained a nonalcoholic friend with just about every new member — doctors, clergy- this story.

Among those who took an active interest was the late John D. Rockefeller Jr., who had advanced a small loan and then sponsored a dinner for ACA. in 1940, He helped make A.A. “respectable” when he stood up and told the world that he believed the organization was worthwhile, National news- aper: coverage of the Rocke- feller dinner helped boost mem- bership to 2,000 as groups were launched in nearly a dozen major cities. In 1941, a feature article by Jack Alexander in the Saturday Evening Post brought in thou- sands of new, members. Addi- tional thousands who came to A.A. in later years gained their first knowledge of A.A. from “Early members, like those today, were above all human. Sobriety came first, but there were also grandiose, unwork- able plans for A.A. hospitals, fund-raising drives, and gov- ernment support, as well as an all-too-natural urge for personal power and prestige. These faults, however hu- man, tended to divert members from their primary purpose. Thus it’ was for practical reasons that such traditions as financial self-support, anony- mily, group autonomy, non- affiliation, and others were de- vised. Since those first days, A.A. members have continued to carry the message of hope to those who are willing to listen, They have shied away from anything that smacks of lecture and reform, Nothing in A.A. is.
