BILL FINDLEY - ONTARIO, CANADA 1999
at Windsor, Ontario,
Bill is an AA veteran from Lorain, Ohio which is just outside the Cleveland area. Bill opens up this Alcoholics Anonymous talk with a few funny jokes and then gives a much abbreviated story on the history of AA. He then tells his story. Bill’s sobriety date is May 11th, 1964 and he was 35 years sober at the time of this talk. He tells a horrendous story that happened at Christmastime in 1956. He was driving drunk and two people ended up getting killed. Bill was sent to the Ohio Reformatory. He would have gotten parole after spending twelve months in prison but he ended up getting some booze in his system and was sentenced to another 16 months. After Bill sobered up in the rooms of AA, he became the chief probation officer for the county of Lorain, Ohio. Bill believes in keeping AA simple; he’s seen too many people enter the rooms of AA with the paralysis of analysis.
