Beschreibung
Addictions each year wreak havoc and destruction on more individuals and families in the U.S. and around the world. Without the marriage of Bill and Lois Wilson, there would be no Alcoholics Anonymous or Twelve Step movement. Without the attention paid by the Wilsons, the Smiths, and other Twelve Step pioneers to healing for the family, family members would not know how to find help for themselves and their loved ones.
Learn how Lois Wilson brought Twelve Step programs to life through her extraordinary commitment and leadership-in a time when women were seldom allowed to lead, offering the world hope and recovery. Discover how Bill Wilson helped found and shape A.A. in a way that has led millions to recovery through the addiction recovery movement.
Whether you are interested in history in general, Twelve Step history in particular, or want to understand better the magic and mystery of the recovery movement, you will want to know more about Lois and Bill Wilson and how their marriage is still changing the world. This is the first time this history has been told from the perspective of both Lois and Bill Wilson and their marriage. Point of view matters.
