Bill Wilson: Sex Addict?

I found it fascinating to learn that Bill W. (Bill Wilson, founder of Alcoholics Anonymous) was apparently a sex addict, smoker, and caffeine addict. He died of lung cancer because he couldn't stop smoking! He willed money to his mistress! Read about it here:

From what I'm reading, Bill Wilson, like many addicts, had multiple addictions and merely replaced his alcoholism with other addictions. It turns out his miracle program maybe didn't work so great for him, and while it may work for some people, I remain unconvinced.

As much as addictions destroy the addict, my experience is the addict will go to almost any lengths to protect his addiction.
