A non wood working post. I live in a little village of about 300 people on the side of a mountain in Vermont. At the end of my road is building known as the Wilson house. It was once the home of William Wilson. Bill is the cofounder of alcohol Alcoholics Anonymous. The Wilson house is now is the International House AA. So when I pick my kids up, or drop them off at the bus or just take the dog for a walk I get to walk past the Wilson house. I have met so many incredible individuals who turned their life around because of the organization that is Alcoholics Anonymous. It is a truly special feeling when you watch someone walk up for the very first time and take that picture in front of the sign after they have gotten sober and gotten their life back together. I’ve met people with nine months clean in 45 years. Each one of them is just as excited that they made it back to the Wilson house.
