Bill Wilson founded Alcoholics Anonymous after a mystical experience cured his drinking overnight. He stayed sober for 30 years. He also kept cheating on his wife, kept disappearing for days, and kept searching for something to fix the parts of himself that the white light didn't touch. In this final chapter, Mark and Drew get into the messy middle of change that nobody posts about, the three phases of transition (endings, the neutral zone, new beginnings), the social cost of becoming a new person, and why "you are already perfect, and you can always be better" is the only paradox that actually resolves the whole thing.
