    My name is Bill W

    When you belong to the program. It is just simply amazing. How I related to the stories of Bill W. and those he helped sobered up. From his childhood to the very end. For this, I am grateful.

    Bill Wilson, co-founder of aa

    Bill Wilson was an amazing guy. He was instrumental in starting a program that had far reaching impact and that has kept thousands of people free from the slavery of alcoholism. Susan Cheever's book is excellent reading. It provides insight in to the life and times of Bill Wilson and some history of the organization he helped start.
