Bill Wilson, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), wrote:
“Then came Marty Mann, NCADD’s founder. As a recovered alcoholic, she knew that public attitudes had to be changed, that alcoholism was a disease and that alcoholics could be helped. She developed an idea for an organization to conduct a vigorous plan of public education and to organize citizens’ committees all over the country. She brought the plan to me. I was enthusiastic.”
Bill Wilson was also tremendously supportive of the organization. He became a donor, a policy advocate, a member of the NCADD Board of Directors and a volunteer counselor. Bill set the stage for the involvement of thousands of NCADD contributors throughout the organization’s 70 year-history.
