OCMDAA AUGUST 2016 NEWSLETTER PAGE 1

“We have a list of all persons we have harmed and to whom we are willing to make amends. We made it when we took inventory. We subjected ourselves to a drastic self-appraisal. Now we go out to our fellows and repair the damage done in the past. We attempt to sweep away the debris which has accumulated out of our effort to live on self-will and run the show ourselves. If we haven’t the will to do this, we ask until it comes. Remember it was agreed at the beginning we would go to any lengths

for victory over alcohol.”

Tradition Eight – “Alcoholics Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers

may employ special workers.”

“Alcoholics Anonymous will never have a professional class. We have gained some understanding of the ancient words ‘Freely ye have received, freely give.’ We have discovered that at the point of professionalism, money and spirituality do not mix. Almost no recovery from alcoholism has been brought about by the world’s best professionals whether medical or religious. We do not decry professionalism in other fields, but we accept the sober fact that it does not work for us. Every time we have tried to professionalize our Twelfth Step, the result has been exactly the same: Our single purpose has been defeated.”

TWELVE STEPS & TWELVE TRADITIONS, P 166

Dr. Bob and Sister Ignatia admit 1st alcoholic to St. Thomas Hospital, Akron, Ohio On August 16, 1935, Sister Ignatia Gavin, a frail but no-nonsense Catholic sister in charge of admissions at St.

Thomas Hospital in Akron, Ohio, with the help of Dr. Bob Smith, one of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous,

admitted the first alcoholic patient under the diagnosis of acute gastritis, thus making St. Thomas Hospital the first

hospital in the world to treat alcoholism as a medical condition. Dr. Bob provided the medical treatment, while a

steady stream of "reformed" alcoholics helped the man with his "spiritual" needs.
