About this product

Product Information

The definitive biography of Bill Wilson, the man who established Alcoholics Anonymous, and the first to be written with access to documents in that organization's archives, by a noted author who is herself a recovering alcoholic. In this definitive and groundbreaking biography, acclaimed author Susan Cheever offers a remarkably human portrait of a man whose life and work both influenced and saved the lives of millions of people. Drawing from personal letters, diaries, AA archives, interviews--and Cheever's own experiences with alcoholism --My Name Is Bill is the first fully documented, deeply felt account of Bill Wilson and Alcoholics Anonymous.

  • Title describes book well.

    Bill Wilson really comes off the page with this book. He isn't described as some icon, but as a human being with faults and serious problems in addition to his alcoholism. I bought the book because I like Susan Cheever as an author (as I liked her father, John) and because the topic is important to me as someone connected to recovery. Compared to the made-for-TV movie, the book is more multi-dimensional -- the movie portrayed Bill are a pretty nice guy. Bill was a difficult man on a good day, and Susan Cheever really captures that.
