About this ebook

Known as the "Big Book," the basic text of Alcoholics Anonymous has helped millions of people worldwide get and stay sober since the first edition appeared in 1939. Opening chapters articulate A.A.’s program of recovery from alcoholism — the original Twelve Steps — and recount the personal histories of A.A.'s co-founders, Bill W. and Dr. Bob.
In the pages that follow, more than 40 A.A. members share how they stopped drinking and found a new healthier and more serene way of life through the Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Whether reading passages at meetings, reading privately for personal reflection, or working with a sponsor, the Big Book can be a source of inspiration, guidance and comfort on the journey to recovery.
This Fourth Edition of Alcoholics Anonymous has been approved by the General Service Conference.

Ratings and reviews

They put in no roman numerals for the intro in the first four forwards. Something should have been figured out with this book. I'M SO FRUSTRATED! This book has been part of our history in helping millions of people around the world cope and deal with alcoholism/drug addiction. Now many people can't read this during our AA meetings because they couldn't find a solution to match the pages up to follow along. I'm tight on money, in a sober living home and trying to better my life. I'm sure it's not the first time you've heard about this. please find a solution to this problem and help us out here that I'm trying to save our lives. many of us don't have space to carry big paper books around. thank you. Jacob John PS. Send this to management, come togather and find a solution to this problem.

Excellent choice for those trying to get sober. Mike doesn't wish for me have this bundle that is recommended for the program which shows he obviously has no business within the rooms. How much is the doggy in the window *ruff ruff"
