Synopsis:

The story of Alcoholics Anonymous, the secret society that came to be in the mid-1930's and grew in a few decades to a fellowship of millions without a leader. The play introduces the founders, Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith, their wives, and the friends they found along the way - fellow drunks who could and could not stay sober by following their program of recovery. An inside look at Bill and Bob's humble trial and error beginnings, the price paid and the risks taken for this new venture, the rejection of their help by those who seemed to need it most, and what has proven, one day at a time, to be the most successful treatment of alcoholism to date.
