Happy Birthday to AA


It is from June 10, 1935 when, as we say, “One alcoholic reached out to help another alcoholic,” that we date the birth of Alcoholics Anonymous.

From that rough beginning in Akron, Ohio when Bill Wilson talked through the night with Dr. Bob Smith, that a fellowship of millions grew into an international community with numerous step-children: OA, NA, DA, Al-Anon, CODA, ACOA and the list goes on and on. 

(There are 200 different fellowships that use the principles of the Twelve Steps.)

Millions of people (nearly 4 million) have discovered the wisdom of the Twelve Steps and how it can be applied to many troubling life problems and addictions. 

Today as we look back at that first date we also acknowledge the people that preceded Bill and Bob in Akron. We gladly welcome to the party those whose roles prepared Bill Wilson to get to that day and that historic phone call--figures like Rowland Hazzard, and Ebby Thacher, and even Carl Jung.

The success of our program is founded on the simple principle: “You can’t do it alone.” 

Make a wish. Have a cupcake.

Happy Birthday AA.

My marriage was falling apart after years of misunderstandings, constant arguments, and emotional distance. I had almost given up hope when I was introduced to Ilekhojie and the reconciliation ritual. At first, I was doubtful, but I decided to try because I truly loved my partner and wanted peace in our home again.
After the reconciliation ritual, things began to change in ways I cannot fully explain. Communication between us improved, the rage we had towards each other faded, and the stability and affection we once shared slowly returned. My spouse changed for better and was willing to work on our marriage. Today, our home is filled with peace, understanding, and happiness again.
I am deeply grateful to Ilekhojie for helping restore my marriage when it seemed impossible. This experience gave me hope and brought my family back together. You can reach out to him via Email (gethelp05@gmail.com) or WhatsApp or Viber +2348147400259 to ask for help

"I came across a comment online about a Los Angeles–based journalist who said she found true love again just two months after her divorce. That story gave me hope during one of the most difficult times in my life.

I had been married for over six years, but things fell apart when my husband started pulling away and eventually left. We had been separated for nearly three months, and even after trying to reconnect through gifts, therapy, and marriage counseling, nothing seemed to work. I still loved him deeply and just wanted us to find our way back to each other.

Then I found a blog post that shared a contact who had helped others through relationship struggles. I decided to reach out and explain my situation. I followed the guidance I was given with an open mind and genuine intention to rebuild my marriage.

To my surprise, within a couple of days, my husband called me. He was calm, sincere, and apologetic. We had a real conversation—something we hadn’t had in a long time—and he told me he wanted to come back home. The very next day, he did.

Today, we are together again, working on our relationship with more love, care, and understanding than before. I’m truly grateful for the second chance we’ve been given.

If you’re going through a difficult time in your relationship, don’t lose hope. Sometimes the right guidance and a willingness to try again can make all the difference." (relationshipmarraiges@gmail.com)
