I can’t wait to see it myself. 21 years clean and sober.
But the original draft is written on the back of Ted Kennedy’s bar tab...
I guess he didn’t read the part that says we should remain anonymous at the level of press, TV and film.
It has always astonished me how people who make Bill W. and Dr. Bob “gods” think they can find a better way to do it. An easier and softer way never works. The results will always be nill.
I can’t wait to become an alcoholic so that I can appreciate AA more when, after a self-destructive downward spiral, I will be forced to join by the justice system.
Obviously he missed the meetings on the traditions and doesn’t have a sponsor or a home group that he attends on a regular basis.
An individual choosing to go public does not harm or change the tradition. And remember that effective 12th stepping necessitates disclosure to one or more persons. Has he overstepped? Let us take his inventory at some later time.

My Father was an Alcoholic for over 60 Years. He quit cold turkey at age 79 after the death of my Mother. It got worse before it got better, but he did it on his own.
Years of us begging him to quit drinking were met with excuses, rage and excuse making.
He went to AA Religiously for over 13 Years and it saved his life. When he passed away, the people he helped just because they could see the possibility of remaining Sober in a Man that was over 90 Years Old were heartbroken.
Good, bad or indifferent, AA worked for my Father. They did what my Mother, Brother and I were unable to do, give my Father his Life and Self Respect back.
