What We Were Like

In 1941 four towns in Connecticut had active AA groups: Greenwich, New Haven, Bridgeport, and Hartford. The Greenwich group was founded in 1939 and is the third oldest AA group in the country. Between 1941 and 1955, sixteen more Hartford area groups came into being, all founded by courageous men and women who were willing to take risks and devote the time and effort needed to help others and keep themselves sober.
