REUNIONS AA à la MAISON BLANCHE ?
Susan Cheever, membre AA et auteure (2004) de "My name is Bill : Bill Wilson - his life and the Creation of Alcoholics Anonymous", laisse (sous-)entendre assez clairement qu'il y aurait des réunions AA tenues dans la West Wing de la Maison Blanche.
Extrait de l'article du 4 juillet 2011 dans "The Fix", sur l'anonymat link
"What if it was widely reported that a significant percentage of U.S. senators are in A.A. or that there are A.A. meetings in the West Wing of the White House? What if hundreds of the movers and shakers in recovery—doctors and lawyers and airline pilots, the Fortune 500 businessmen and ministers—stood up and were counted as members of A.A?"

The Amityville Alcoholics Anonymous 'Open Door' group was founded by Kenny M. and friends to replace another morning group which was drifting more and more away from A.A.'s singleness of purpose
On July 14, 1990, the first meeting of the Amityville 'Open Door' Group was attended by Ben, John, Kenny and Trudy. Initially Kenny performed all of the required group functions: made coffee, opened the meeting, qualified, was treasurer until the meeting became established. Daily meeting attendance now ranges from thirty through ninety participants. In July 2009, the group expects to celebrate its nineteenth anniversary.
