[See Susan Cheever, My Name is Bill: Bill Wilson—His Life and the Creation of Alcoholics Anonymous (NY: Washington Square Press, 2004), 54-55.] For a number of years, he characterized himself thereafter as a “conservative atheist” or as an “agnostic.” [See Dick B., Turning Point: A History of Early A.A.’s Spiritual Roots and Successes (San Rafael, CA: Paradise Research Publications, 1997), 96; Alcoholics Anonymous (New York City: Works Publishing Company, 1939), 56-58; and Bill W.: My First 40 Years, 50.] This ended at or before his spiritual experience during his fourth hospitalization at Towns where he had his “white light” experience and never drank again [Bill W.: My First 40 Years, 29-31; and Dick B., The Conversion of Bill W., 90-103].
