Alcoholics Anonymous, Fourth Edition: The Official "Big Book" from Alcoholic Anonymous

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.

Here, 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.
