Wilson and Dr. Robert (Dr. Bob) Smith, it utilizes a [[twelve step program]] to help those suffering from [[alcoholic drink|alcohol]] [[addiction]] to overcome their addiction, relying on [[faith]] in a "higher power". Both Wilson and Smith were members of the [[Oxford Group]], a Christian reform movement started by Lutheran minister [[Frank Buchman]], until about 1939 when the book "Alcoholics Anonymous" was published. The organization itself takes its name from the title of the book.
