It was a living experience, my own and others, of what recovery looks like when we stop trying to think our way through pain and begin to feel our way toward safety.

After Bill had accumulated significant sobriety a celebratory dinner was held in New York City at which Bill gave an AA talk. (Bill drank for 17 years and staying sober for an 17 years was a notable milestone not only to him but to Lois as well.)
