 The 12 Steps, Interpreted   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)

Lois Wilson screamed at him and called him "a drunken sot", an act of disrespect for which the vain, narcissistic Bill Wilson never forgave Lois.
Bill Wilson started off by saying that we merely needed to perform an innocuous-sounding "moral inventory" in Step Four, but then he suddenly switched to declaring that we have characters that are so horribly defective that only God can remove all of the defects.

 The Religious Roots of The Twelve Steps
Bill Wilson and Doctor Bob had both been enthusiastic, true-believer members of Buchman's Oxford Group until they were asked to leave by the other group members, and take their alcoholics with them, because they were spending too much time with the alcoholics, and not enough time following the dictates of the cult leader, Frank Buchman.
Bill Wilson had previously been ambushed by his old friend and drinking buddy Ebby Thacher at a very vulnerable moment, while he was sick and detoxing from alcohol, and tripping on delirium tremens and hallucinogenic drugs in a hospital, in December of 1934, and converted into being a believer in Buchman's cult.
