I want more than that. I want an enjoyable life, not one that replaces one form of bondage with another.
Those close to Bill made a god of AA. After all, it had saved their lives and they sometimes made a god of Bill.
After a while because Bill was not a god, or even a saint, but a human being with his own struggles, these men became disappointed. Then they became furious. Beginning with Hank Parkhurst's defection and continuing with Clarence Snyder of the Cleveland Ohio group who had angrily asked for a financial accounting.
Bill Wilson's career is characterized by the fury and sense of betrayal of many of the men who worked with him.
