Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions 31 reviews
Alcoholics Anonymous
AA World Services, 2002
Arrived as Described
The seller kindly emailed me after she sent the book off to me. She wanted to make sure it arrived in good time, and asked me to email when it arrived so she could monitor the actual days required to mail it. That showed a conscientious spirit, which is reassuring when buying blind from an unknown buyer.

Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered from Alcoholism 74 reviews
AAWS
Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, 2002
This book illustrates a way of live
In having some personal experience in alcoholism and having now recovered from that aspect of my life for over 20 years now I can only say that the program of recovery outlined in this book and in AA has resulted in a life for me beyond what I ever thought I could become. This doesn't mean it will work that way for you or that this is the only solution but for me it worked with due diligence but ...

Paths to Recovery: Al-Anon's Steps, Traditions and Concepts 10 reviews
Al-Anon Family Group Head Inc
Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc., 1997
You want recovery? Buy this book and work it!
You want recovery? Work the Steps and Traditions. This is the book that will help you do it if you have been affected by someone else's drinking, thinking and/or behavior. As one other reviewer has already stated, if I could have only one Al-Anon book, this would be it. This book is truly a blessing.

Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, 1976
62 Years of Proven Effectiveness
While AA may not be the answer for everyone, it is for many thousands of alcoholics and others. 12-Step programs are popular in many places now, based on the Steps to recovery first written in this book. Alcoholics Anonymous has never been on any best seller list, but it has sold over 20 million copies. This is good reason to take seriously what the authors say in this book. I can add my ...

Not God: A History of Alcoholics Anonymous9 reviews
Ernest Kurtz
Hazelden, 1991
Divinel Fascination
Whether you are an alcoholic or not, this is a divine program given to those that suffer from a disease called alcoholism. This book is probably the most detailed account leading up to the birth of Alcoholics Anonymous in 1935 up to around 1975 (book published in 1979).
Although not A.A. approved literature, I recommend this as a MUST read. Especially, to those that are recovered from a ...

Daily Reflections: A Book of Reflections by Aa Members for Aa Members/B-127 reviews
Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, 1990
Daily Reflections
I believe this book is a "must have" for any recovering alcoholic or addict. It is really good to sit down each morning and read the thought of that day just to get your mind going on the right track. Very humbling, very thought provoking.

Alcoholics Anonymous - Big Book 4th Edition73 reviews
AA Services
Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc., 2002
This book has saved hundreds of thousands of liveslives!
This book tells exactly how hundreds of thousands of real alcoholics have been saved from alcoholism. How can anyone be critical of that if it works? Only the stupid, or ignorant can criticize a book which has literally saved so many people from certain death (not to mention the thousands more they could have victimized).
It is truly a miracle, by virtue of all of the people it has saved.
True, ...

Karen Casey, Bill W.

A Little Red Necessity
An invaluable "pocket" book for any woman in recovery. There is so much in it to help the newcomer - or someone who has been in the rooms for a while. Buy it, keep it handy, read it, use it.

Hazelden, 1991
An amazing book
I had the privilege to attend the weekend workshop on which this book is based about six years ago. It was a life-changing experience for me in my recovery from food addiction. This book is almost a word-for-word replica of that workshop (and was approved by the leaders of the workshop). For anyone struggling to understand the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, read this book immediately. It is ...

A great edition if you attend meetings, but read more below...

The paragraph breaks are clear, plus there is ample space for your to add your own annotations.
The font changes to larger font in the back section of the book which is helpful for people like me who ...

AA Services
Hazelden, 2002
Keep coming back -- to "Came To Believe"
I dip into this AA World Services publication daily. I find it best to read one story at a sitting and reflect on the comments and experience of the recovering person -- most of the short reflections are peoples' spiritual experiences in recovery and they range from the "bolt of lightening" to the slow emergence of everyday spirituality. Keep it with your morning or evening meditation book(s) ...

Hazelden, 1996
A greatly overlooked recovery book
This is a Hazelden book specifically written as a study aid to The Big Book. It helps to clarify and illuminate the 12 step process and is often used by sponsors as they guide their sponsees through the steps. It is a tool which, if used in addition to (and not in replacement of)the basic program literature, may add a layer of depth and understanding to the step process. This book is also used ...

A New Pair of Glasses
Chuck "C" (Chamberlain)
New-Look Publishing Company, 2008
A New Pair of Glasses by Chuck Chamberlain represents the backbone of applied principles discussed by a man who literally went from a tongue-chewing, babbling idiot to one of the most charismatic men in the world.
In a world of proliferating pop-psychology and self-help publications, a reasonable questioner might wonder if A New Pair of Glasses serves any purpose whatsoever: And, if so, what makes it different.
I think the two most significant ...
