No one is more surprised than me but I have reached my teens. What better way than to be surprised been given by a shiny medal and chocolate fudge cake. Shared as a last-minute replacement at my Home Group this eve, good to reflect on how I landed with a bump in a rehab at 24 and what a journey its been, bumps and highs included.

About Bill W.

Bill W. tells the story of William G. Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, a man included in TIME Magazine’s “100 Persons of the 20th Century.” Interviews, recreations, and rare archival material reveal how Bill Wilson, a hopeless drunk near death from his alcoholism, found a way out of his own addiction and then forged a path for countless others to follow. With Bill as its driving force, A.A. grew from a handful of men to a worldwide fellowship of over 2 million men and women â€“ a success that made him an icon within A.A., but also an alcoholic unable to be a member of the very society he had created. A reluctant hero, Bill Wilson lived a life of sacrifice and service, and left a legacy that continues every day, all around the world.
