We both experienced a change. You while working through the 12 steps and myself... walking home after my first meeting. I felt at peace and the desire to drink lifted.

I believe it was God who removed the obsession and others might suggest Rod Serling - Twilight Zone knows best.

But what I do know is I was stone cold sober when this transformation occurred.

Bill W. on the other hand was in a hospital bed and under the influence of a drug known to induce hallucinations. This is a fact which can't be ignored.

Now, did the drug kick-start Wilson's experience? Nobody knows... but it certainly is possible.
