IBH Addiction Recovery

Today, we recognize Alcoholics Anonymous Founders Day, commemorating a moment that changed countless lives worldwide.

On June 10, 1935, a conversation between two men in Akron, Ohio—Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith—helped lay the foundation for what would become Alcoholics Anonymous. That day also marked Dr. Bob’s last drink and the beginning of a movement built on hope, mutual support, and the belief that recovery is possible.

Ninety-one years later, the principles of fellowship, service, and shared experience continue to help individuals and families find a path forward.

At IBH Addiction Recovery, we honor the courage of those who came before us and celebrate every person who chooses recovery today.
