On June 10, Dr Bob was shaky from a hangover and had to go to work to do an operation. Bill W gave him a beer to stop the shakes so Dr Bob could perform.

After the operation , Dr Bob disappeared. Bill W and Lois thought he was out on a drinking spree, but Dr Bob came home a few hours later, sober. He had been out making amends to those that he had harmed. (He had been reluctant previously, worried about his reputation) Dr Bob never drank again. The beer Bill W gave him was his last drink, and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous was born that day, June 10, 1935.

Happy 90th Birthday AA! I plan on being here for your 100th! One Day At A Time!
