An Afternoon with Bill

Being fired from a prestigious, well-paid marketing position with a giant chemical/pharmaceutical company headquartered in Manhattan, led me to a more receptive attitude about Alcoholics Anonymous. Maybe my ego or self-centeredness had also become somewhat subdued. Also, after four years, I needed to get out of New York City to restore some order to my life. I decided I’d intentionally focus my job search in quieter, smaller cities, mostly in the rural Midwest and Southeast.
