An Akron, Ohio doctor finishes a bottle of beer to calm his nerves before surgery. It will be the last alcohol he ever drinks. A few weeks earlier, on Mother’s Day, Dr. Bob Smith had had a six-hour conversation with another desperate alcoholic, a New York stock broker he had just met named Bill Wilson. Wilson, who himself had quit drinking the previous December while hospitalized after going on another bender, had convinced Smith that alcoholism was a disease, not a moral failing, and that only an alcoholic can help another alcoholic.
Together, they commit to saving as many alcoholics as they can, in part by getting them to focus on making it through one day at a time. Four years later, they publish a book titled, “Alcoholics Anonymous,” which becomes the name of their organization, one that spreads around the world. But they always considered the day Bob Smith had his last drink as the day their crusade started.
