Episode 66: The Life and Legacy of Bill W

10 years. April 2, 2024 marked 10 years of sobriety for Paranormal Lover Ian!!! So this week in honor of that milestone Felicia is going into the life an legacy of Bill W. 

William Wilson had a long struggle with alcohol abuse. It ruined his schooling, his business, and almost his family. After meeting with a friend who had recently gotten sober, and having a spiritual experience, Bill himself got sober.

But he knew in order to keep his sobriety, he was going to have to help other people find theirs. And so the idea for Alcoholics Anonymous was born. 

In the 80 plus years since then, over 2 million people have found sobriety through AA. Bill's legacy is one that will last through the generations, and we hope that people will continue to find a community when they need it.
