Publisher's Synopsis
Tom Powers was a very early New York area AA Member who was associated with Bill W.
He was a very close friend to Bill W while the AA Book 12 Steps and 12 Traditions was being written.
One can sort of hear echoes of that book in his description of the Alcoholics 'bottom' as crisis leading to the self-honesty needed to find the beginnings of sobriety.
Very vivid descriptions of his hospitalizations and coming back after his first period of sobriety, that he calls a 'free ride'.
