Moments: An Evening with Bill Wilson - AA Speaker - Alcoholics Anonymous Speaker

Most people have heard of Alcoholics Anonymous, but few know of Bill Wilson, a.k.a. Bill W., a co-founder of this remarkable fellowship, and author of their Twelve Step Program of Recovery.
In "...Moments..." the writer-actor, another Bill, brings Wilson to life, on stage, in a one-man, 90-minute dramatic presentation. Bill W. tells his story to a fictitious A.A. group (the audience) drawing them inside the mind of a man who figured he would die or go insane from alcohol until he had a remarkable vision in a lonely hospital bed and A.A. had its beginning.

    Thank You Bill W. I'm alive today and recovered thanks to you and Dr.Bob and our early members. How fortunate I am to have a program thats been tried and tested unlike the early founders.. You bled, died and tried so that I can pass the torch as you all did.. I pray to be worthy of this honor..

    This is a recording of Bill McNiff, an actor, playing the role of Bill Wilson in a play named "Moments...An Evening With Bill W...". Very interesting for anyone curious about the early history of Alcoholics Anonymous.

    This is just a play by a playwright. It isn't really Bill. It is very well done though.

    It's from a play called "Moments". I thought it was Bill too. It's a guy named Bill McNiff.

    I can relate to going to do something positive, getting enticed, then humiliated by my disease. Powerful message.

    The voice almost sounds like James Woods who played Bill W in the movie....Maybe narrating for Bill from an archive letter...

    This is Bill from somewhere in Pennsylvania. He does a one act play as Bill W. I've seen it twice. Awesome job.

    THIS IS NOT BILL W. It's very misleading. I didn't realise until I clicked "read more" on the intro. Entertaining but NOT AUTHENTIC.
