The Family Groups’ Beginnings in the Pioneers’ Own Words
Author: Michael Fitzpatrick
Foreword by Annah Perch
To honor the 60th anniversary of Al-Anon, Hazelden presents We Recovered Too, a unique multimedia journey into the roots of the Family Groups that have brought hope and healing to millions of loved ones affected by alcoholism and addiction.
Born from the earliest days of Alcoholics Anonymous, when wives began meeting alongside their husbands and found comfort in each other’s company, Al-Anon has grown into a worldwide fellowship dedicated to recovery and renewal. This retrospective captures that evolution in vivid detail, blending rare recordings, diary entries, letters, and firsthand accounts from the 1940s onward.
Recovery historian and beloved author Michael Fitzpatrick brings this story to life with:
- Rare archival audio – interviews, speeches, and recordings collected by early Al-Anon pioneer Arbutus O.
- Unpublished letters and documents – insights into the lives of cofounders Anne B. and Lois W., provided by Stepping Stones, the historic home of Bill W. and Lois W.
- Historical perspective – tracing the growth of “Wives Groups” into today’s Al-Anon Family Groups.
Both a historical record and a source of inspiration, We Recovered Too lets you hear the voices of pioneers who helped establish a lifeline for families of alcoholics, and shows how their dedication continues to shape recovery today.
