A Life Touched by Addiction
Lois W.'s life took a dramatic turn when her beloved husband, Bill W., succumbed to the grip of alcoholism. The once-promising young couple found themselves spiraling into a world of chaos, pain, and despair.

Amidst the darkness, Lois stumbled upon the nascent fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Inspired by the principles of recovery she witnessed there, she realized that she too needed support and healing. Thus, in 1951, she and a group of devoted women established Al-Anon as a safe haven for family members and loved ones of alcoholics.
