Wilson talks to Sam and Olis about a financial windfall that did not fill the hole in his soul. It wasn't until he found AA that he found himself through the Steps. Wilson tells a touching story of hardcore AA guys helping him prepare for his little girl's birthday party. Olis and Sam talk about the Bridging the Gap program, and there's an update from Patrick C. on the International Convention in Vancouver, BC, which is coming up in July 2025.
