I gotta quit drinking.

#2 The same guy that heads up a few groups took a turn and burn trip with me to Moscow Idaho to pick up an engine. I did a straight through from here, Central CA. to Moscow Id. When we get there it's some sort of busy event thing going on and there's no motel rooms within miles. I called the guy I'm supposed to meet the next day and asked if there's somewhere safe I can park for the night and just sleep in the truck. He says we can sack out in an old motor home he has. He said it ain't great but it doesn't leak. So we get to his place and settle in and there's a little placard on the counter of the motor home that has a saying from AA. The guy comes out to check make sure we're doing okay and my buddy says "So you know Bill?". I have no idea what he talking about but the guy says "Hell yes". The guy asked us into the house for a cup of coffee and the two of them start in with a one on one AA meeting! I guess that Bill must have been a pretty famous guy in AA. I went to bed and the two of them yapped and bullshit for most of the night. It seems that if your in AA your welcome anywhere.

What does Bill mean in AA?


“Friends of Bill” is a phrase often used by members of Alcoholics Anonymous to refer to other people who are in the recovery process, particularly those who share a connection with Bill Wilson, one of the founders of AA.
