An awesome story of a man who lost it all and gained more than words can say finding sobriety through some very simple concepts known as the 12 Steps. When I first read Bill W.'s story, I wept because I had no idea there was anyone else the experienced my loss, anger, sorrow, and guilt. In June 1974 at the age of 22, I was "allowed" to stay. I have continued to Stay now going on 47 years.
