Title: "Dry drunk"?
Review: I've just finished reading this book, and I realized that if Cheever is telling the truth, Bill W. fit AA's description of the "dry drunk". Discontented, irritable, self-pitying, out of control, miserably unhappy, mistreating his wife, messing around with other women, abusing his power, and at the end of his life, demanding not just one but several drinks on more than one occasion, and attempting to slug the nurse who refused his demands...he wasn't "sober", at least not what AA want us to imagine "sober" is.Unfortunately, Bill's influence on AA is strong. There is far too much of this sort of thing happening in the "Fellowship".Equally disconcerting is how Cheever manages to spin all the negative information into a hagiography.
