What About the Alcoholic Employee? - AA Pamphlet
What About the Alcoholic Employee?
This pamphlet was printed by Alcoholics Anonymous through The Alcoholic Foundation in the early 1940’s. This pamphlet is the chapter “To Employers” from the AA Big Book.
This pamphlet was used as a marketing tool to more easily reach business owners that manage people that may have problems with alcohol as well as families of alcoholics to introduce them to a solution in Alcoholics Anonymous.
Here you can read the front cover of the pamphlet:
“Can anything be done for the valuable employee whose drinking is out of his control? To employers this is a baffling question.
The purpose of this reprint is to bring you in touch with the experience of ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, that informal society of ex-problem drinkers, whose aim is to help other alcoholics recover if they wish.
Our members are to be found in thousands of American communities. Formerly unemployable, nearly all of us are now at work. Large numbers hold responsible executive positions.
Neither evangelists nor reformers, we regard alcoholism as a sickness. We help ourselves by helping each other. There is no charge for our services because our work is an avocation only.
We are consulted daily by relatives, friends, doctors and clergymen who must deal with the alcoholic illness. Many of the leading corporations of this country now refer such problems to us.
For further information, interested employers are invited to write The Alcoholic Foundation, Box 459 Grand Central Annex, New York 17, our General Headquarters.“
