The Growth and Effectiveness of Alcoholics Anonymous in a Southwestern City, Bill C, Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol, Vol.26
(2), 279-284, 1965
“This
paper reports the results of a study of the membership of Alcoholics
Anonymous living in the metropolitan area of a Southwestern city who
are sober (abstinent) and have stayed sober for at least 1 year by
the beginning of the year 1963, and of the AA members who have died
or moved away from the city since joining AA. In addition, the growth
and effectiveness of the largest AA group in the city (the
Suburban Group) is described.
Most
of the data were obtained through direct interviews with the
subjects. The initial list of subjects was compiled from the writer's
personal knowledge and records and from the records kept by the
secretaries of the two largest and oldest AA groups in the city. Some
information about those who had died and moved away from the area was
obtained from other AA members still resident in the city. Such
information is usually quite reliable due to the closeknit nature of
AA which results in continuing contacts with persons who have
not lived in the city for several years.”
