Titles under the Hazelden-Pittman Archives Press imprint focus on the history of Alcoholics Anonymous: its early years; biographies of its founders; the work of men and women who have made significant contributions to the fellowship; AA's spiritual underpinning, the Twelve Steps; and the continuing success of AA.Based on Bill W.'s own notes, letters, and tape recordings about his life, this richly detailed and moving autobiography reveals and explores the struggles, challenges, aspirations, and contributions of one of the twentieth century's most important and remarkable individuals.Co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill W. told his own story many times, but the emphasis was always on his later life. In his last years, he realized that his biography would one day be written and made attempts in notes and tapes to get his life on record. This book is based on those materials.
