    I was trying to remember the three points about how LR is like the 99% against the 12-Step 1%. (1) Bill Wilson was related to Rockefeller who helped by donating some startup money and PR for his book. (2) The alcohol industry created the disease of alcoholism to divert blame from their product. (3) ???

    A big thank you to Martin for a great talk and great follow-on discussion! For many of us, reading Empowering Your Sober Self was a huge recovery milestone, and it was nice to hear and meet the man behind the written words. ๐Ÿ™‚
