If you are not a member of "AA HISTORY LOVERS" yet, you might want to join. They are a yahoo group committing themselves to the history of Alcoholics Anonymous. I'm sure after the airing of this movie, there will be alot of critique about the movie.

It was the early members of what later became know as Alcoholics Anonymous, which first compiled the solution to a common problem, as we know is the Twelve Steps. Today, there are hundreds of 12 Step programs that target individual aliments, which gives them the strength, from their own common problem and on to the spiritual remedy that liberalizes them from what once had defeated them.

There are a number of Twelve Step Programs which many of us are familiar with other than AA. Some of them are Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Overeaters Anonymous (OA), Al-anon, Gamblers Anonymous (GA) and the list goes on.

Much of the information you will find here refers to the beginnings of Alcoholics Anonymous which was the first "12 Step" program. The 12 Steps are copyright by Alcoholics Anonymous and we have not heard of them turning down permission to publish the 12 steps and apply them to their own aliments. In the future we may add a page for posting links and work toward some history involving other 12 step programs.

For now, we only have to time to build on the pre-AA history and include pages in our search engine for individual histories of AA in their communities, states, and so on. Feel free to contact us (on left column) if you  have any suggestions or comments.

Some of the types of groups I'm interested may include the following: 

• AA Comes of Age
• Pass It On
• Dr. Bob and the Good Old Timers
• For Sinners Only 
• What is the Oxford Group?
• When Man Listens

I hear from time to time a few people reading these outside of regular scheduled meetings. We would like to get the word out so that others might join or even start their own. I know I've tried a couple times here and there but I just don't have the interest around me. 

Maybe some of you might be interested in starting your own little group but don't know where to start. 

Perhaps those of you that do can share with us some of the following:

• What books have you studied
• How you conduct the study 
• How often you get together (weekly, twice a month, etc.)

We will not post personal information on this page. We would like to post locations and types of books studied in the left column and will forward request. If you are interested in starting one we could include that. We might even set up some type of discussion board if there is enough interest.
