Alcoholics Anonymous (also known as the Big Book in recovery circles) sets forth cornerstone concepts of recovery from alcoholism and tells the stories of men and women who have overcome the disease.
The fourth edition includes twenty-four new stories that provide contemporary sharing for newcomers seeking recovery from alcoholism in A.A. during the early years of the 21st century. Sixteen stories are retained from the third edition, including the “Pioneers of A.A.” section, which helps the reader remain linked to A.A.’s historic roots, and shows how early members applied this simple but profound program that helps alcoholics get sober today. Approximately 21 million copies of the first three editions of “Alcoholics Anonymous” have been distributed. It is expected that the new fourth edition will play its part in passing on A.A.’s basic message of recovery. This fourth edition has been approved by the General Service Conference of Alcoholics Anonymous, in the hope that many more may be led toward recovery by reading its explanation of the A.A. program and its varied examples of personal experiences which demonstrate that the A.A. program works.

Every home should have one
This book has become the mother ship for all 12 Step recovery programs. There is a wealth of practical recovery tools and philosophy in this book. It is true that the book is getting up there in years, and the changes in culture and the scientific understanding of addiction, neurodivergence and trauma means that the book requires a bit of effort. It assumes a wide vocabulary and life experiences. But if you are an addict or know one, you need this book. It really is timeless.

A little outdated (obviously) but it explains alcoholism very well. The stories are very relatable and ultimately hopeful. Really need this if you do AA.

AA delivered in your face – no diplomacy, no nonsense. If you’re looking for a way out of alcohol, this book will make sure you don’t relapse.I highly recommend this book and it did work for me. I’m in recovery, surprising the hell out of my friends. There are so many advantages to living alcohol free – saving money, gaining respect, better focus, easier workout and best of all – healthy organs.This body and mind is a gift – make the best out of life by staying away from booze. If I can do it, anyone can!Regarding the book, these are classic stories. Something like an interesting share in an AA session, if you’ve ever been in one. I got the Kindle version so that I can look up word meanings instantly. Your vocabulary is sure to improve multifold.In simple words, AA stories are non-goofy illustrations of the horrors of numbing the mind. It could be that one last thing to save you from asking for that one-last-drink. These days, I do give company to my friends in the bar but I’m not worried about temptations. I’m happy to say that I would never again have an alcoholic drink in my life.I strongly recommend this book to anyone with an alcohol problem. If you know an alcoholic, gift this book to him/her so that you can save one more life (and probably their family as well). Enough fun – time to get that healthy sleep that we deserve.
