Publisher's Summary

Willis has a powerful recovery story and a spiritual message that is different from everyone getting sober today, because he got sober before the 12 Steps and the Big Book were written.

Sponsored by Clarence Snyder and taken through the Pre-AA Oxford Group program by Doctor Bob.

Willis also is one of those early alcoholics who served their country during World War Two, with just a couple of years sobriety, at most, before joining or being drafted.

He was deeply involved in the educational efforts to change social attitudes and government policy during the 1940s, as a colleague of Marty Mann and Dr. E.M. Jellinek.

He tells lots of great stories and a few very funny jokes.
