William Griffith Wilson (26 November 1895 - 24 January 1971) (also known as Bill Wilson or Bill W.), was the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), a fellowship of self-help groups dedicated to helping alcoholics recover from their disease. According to the AA tradition of anonymity, Wilson was and still is commonly known as "Bill W." In 1934, in the course of his struggle with alcoholism, Wilson underwent a spiritual experience that gave him the strength to stop drinking. He then took his method to other alcoholics, starting with AA co-founder Dr. Bob Smith in 1935. Working with the members of a growing society of recovering alcoholics, Wilson developed the Twelve-step spiritual program and the basic organizational guidelines for AA known as the Twelve Traditions. In spite of his sobriety, success, and recognition, Wilson was a deeply troubled man who suffered from compulsive behaviour and frequent depressions. Wilson turned over leadership of AA to the service board in 1955, and for the remainder of his life was free to experiment with alternate cures. He took an interest in spiritualism, in niacin (vitamin B3) as a possible cure for alcoholism,Wilson died of lung diseases in 1971. His wife, Lois Wilson was the founder of Al-Anon, a group dedicated to helping the friends and relatives of alcoholics.
