Marty Mann is considered to have been the first woman to achieve sobriety while in AA. However, she died many years ago. Don't know her specific definition, if she had one. However, in the early days of AA, members tended to view Alcoholism as a physical, mental and spiritual problem or condition. AA then popularized the idea that alcoholism is a disease, a view that today, many physicians and alcohol researchers reject.
