Po-Boy was another of the real characters in AA. He was in trouble early in life. He escaped from a Georgia prison, was caught and returned. He expected never to get out again. After finding a spiritual solution, a series of remarkable events led to his release. He later married his one true love. She is still alive at the time of this talk.
What happened after 1988 is a lesson as well. As I understand the events, after his wife died, he married a younger woman. Those who knew him say it was not as healthy a relationship as his first and he seemed somewhat disconnected. Being convinced is a good start. Staying convinced is why I keep coming back.
