The answer is Alcoholics Anonymous. This is a non-profit organization that is also an international mutual aid fellowship founded in 1935 by Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith in Akron, Ohio. AA's specified their primary purpose is to help alcoholics to "stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety". With other early members, Bill Wilson and Bob Smith established AA's Twelve Step program of spiritual and character development. AA's initial Twelve Traditions were make known to in 1946 to help the fellowship be steady and united while detached from "outside issues" and influences.
