Alcoholics Anonymous And Recovery - Squidoo Stories

As I researched Alcoholics Anonymous for this lens, I was constantly reminded of the phrase "each one, teach one" phrase. Bill W and Dr. Bob Smith each followed their own Divine Guidance in creating Alcoholics Anonymous in 1935. In the years since that time, one by one, one single person at a time, has been touched by this program. Not just people who suffer from this disease, but their families and friends as well, and each of them has touched others. The reach just goes on and on and on with a worldwide membership now of almost two million individuals. Here on Squidoo, we are blessed to have some wonderful creative people who are willing to share that story. And one day, someone somewhere will read one of those stories, and think "oh, that sounds like me!" and again, another person will be on the road to recovery.

This lens could easily focus on the disease of alcoholism itself, or on courage, or wisdom or personal growth or friendship. All of those characteristics are abundantly evident. But the story is more than that. It is a story of one person and then another and then another - people just like you and me - who reach out to help someone else and make a powerful difference. What a thought!
