Bill > SR0056

This resolution recognizes June 10, 2025, as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) Day, commemorating the first meeting between Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith on June 10, 1935, which led to the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous. The resolution highlights the significance of AA's 12-step program, a set of spiritual guiding principles designed to help individuals recover from alcoholism. It acknowledges the organization's global impact, noting that countless people in America and around the world have achieved sobriety through AA. The resolution also recognizes that the 12-step approach has been adopted by various groups to address other addictions, such as narcotics, gambling, and overeating. By establishing this day of recognition, the resolution aims to show solidarity with individuals and families struggling with alcoholism and to honor the positive influence of Alcoholics Anonymous in supporting recovery and personal transformation.
