OT- "Bill W." movie
 

Hello, all. Just saw (in theater) a great documentary about Bill Wilson, one of the co-founders of AA. When you realize where we are today, with the gift of 12-Step programs and people to help, and contrast that with the situation before AA, you realize what an amazing gift the AA movement is.

It was a fascinating look at the arc of 12 step recovery programs.

If it's showing anywhere near you, I highly recommend it! Google "Bill W. movie"

On topic, I'm doing well. Almost 4 months out, very little contact with the A. He finally seems to have gotten the message that I am not playing the crazy game. I've been able to have two property related discussions with him that went well. Now if my property would just sell, I can be off to my own life.

I have moments where I miss him like crazy (actually, that's exactly right-it is CRAZY!!!! to miss him), but then I realize that I miss the illusion of who I wanted him to be. I still wish him well, but we are water under the bridge.

I've made my short list of characteristics I'd like in a partner-kindness, optimism, intelligence, and a sense of humor. Oh, yeah, no substance abuse!

Be well, my SR comrades!

Is this the movie "My Name is Bill W?" or something newer?

It's new Choublak. Just came out and is in select theatres.

If you can't get to one of the theatres showing it. You can buy the DVD directly from the production company.

It's supposed to be a terrific documentary.

Cool - thanks for sharing this. I watched the older Hollywood version, but this looks far more interesting and probably much more realistic.

The nearest showing to me is in Albuquerque on June 9th and 10th.

Gives me a good 'excuse' rofl to go visit some friends up there and
see it.

Then if it is as good as it looks to be, I will buy the DVD so that I
can have some of my AA sponsees watch it.

I am glad you enjoyed the movie!!!!!

Love and hugs,

Thank you for sharing this celticgenes.
I am going to look it up.

Dang, It goes East Coast, West Coast, then Southwest.

I am kidding of course.
Waiting for the DVD to come out.
Let us know how it is Laurie.
