The AA program started in the 1930s; its origins evolved from the spiritual principles of a Christian-based self-help group called the Oxford Group.
During his early recovery period, AA founder Bill Wilson (commonly referred to as Bill W) was failing at helping others get sober. But when the 12 Steps were integrated into the AA program, things took a dramatic turn for the better. The 12 Steps are a spiritual set of principles aimed at helping recovering AA members get sober, and maintain long-term sobriety.
Wilson proclaimed that alcoholism does not come from a weakness of character, but rather, it is a disease of the mind, emotions, and physical body. This philosophy on alcoholism has been adopted into many of today’s rehabilitation (rehab) treatment models as the disease concept.
