My Name Is Bill W

*re-posted--Carol corrected my title*

I highly recommend this DVD! It was on VHS for some time, but it is new to DVD.

It stars James Woods as Bill, James Garner as Dr Bob and JoBeth Williams as Lois. James Woods won the Emmy for his performance.

It was incredibly moving. Check it out! xo

Thanks C2B!

I just ordered that, and the book Came to Believe (recommended by an AA member). Didn't know your name was the title of a book - aren't you the cat's pajamas?

When I ordered it The Lost Weekend came up, heard it was a classic...advice?

The Lost Weekend is a gritty look at the lengths an alcoholic will goto to drink. Great acting, black and white, Ray Miland is awesome in it. I am not an alcoholic, so i can't say if it would bother one to watch it,
