These
articles are reprinted from the Cleveland Plain Dealer
The
Elrick B. Davis Articles From The
Cleveland
Plain Dealer
October
- November 1939
These
articles appeared in the main Cleveland newspaper, the
Plain Dealer, just five months after the first
A.A. group was formed in Cleveland. The articles resulted
in hundreds of calls for help from suffering alcoholics
who reached out for the hope that the fledgling Alcoholics
Anonymous offered.
The thirteen reliable members of the Cleveland group handled
as many as 500 calls (ref 1) in the first month following
the appearance of Davis' articles. The following year Cleveland
could boast 20 to 30 groups with hundreds of members (ref
2).
