One of my favorite Bill Wilson stories (according to biographer Susan Cheever.)

On his death bed, Wilson threatened his attendants to give him a shots of whiskey.

The lessons: Even 36 years of AA won't knock the alcoholism out of me. Alcoholism will never leave me . I have but a daily reprieve based on my spiritual condition.
