Every recovering Alcoholic should have a copy of this book in your home. It will be your backbone and needed structure while you take one day at a time.
You can learn from others who have walked this path before you!

Beware of size and price June 12, 2008
I am a member of A.A. and wanted to purchase a copy of the Big Book. I always shop at Amazon.com due to the great pricing and service. I just wish that Amazon would have shown me the actual product. A.A. publishes multiple sizes and covers of the Big Book and this was the only one I saw on Amazon. Unfortunately, I noticed at my next meeting that the one I was getting from Amazon was the smallest and cheapest made big book and I paid 3 times what it was worth. I kept it, but was rather annoyed with the outcome. The book is a MUST for any suffering alcoholic, or anyone who knows\lives with one. It is informative, well-written, and full of knowledge and hope. I recommend it for almost anyone.
 Bogus Bootleg from Third Party Publisher March 14, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is appears to be a bootleg copy of the book, Alcoholics Anonymous published by AAWS.
This is not the REAL book that Alcoholics Anonymous uses in it's program of recovery.
Please make your purchase from the legitimate publisher, AAWS or AA that is also listed on this site.
A simple solution for alcoholism, with a few basic requirements March 10, 2008
There is no better book that I have ever read that will help a person to understand their addiction to alcohol, and the wide reach of the addictions impact on all aspects of your life personally, with those you love and who love you, and with the world at large.
Despite the Judeo-Christian principles that the founder's of this organization have used as their spiritual reference, it still will work for those with or without a 'faith' based in any culture.
I personally have been amazed to see the complete transformation of people -- over time, often a great amount of time -- that this book and this organization has facilitated.
With the (as suggested) 'least possible organization' AA has found a place in almost every community in the world. No other organization can make that claim.
Alcoholism is a Disease February 21, 2008

Title: Alcoholism is a Disease.
Alcoholism causes moral problems ---but it is not CAUSED by a lack of "morality". Under the Influence: A Guide to the Myths and Realities of Alcoholism. The "Under the Influence" book clearly explains in scientific detail the four-stage physical disease of alcoholism. Understanding the physical part of the disease SO much helps in trying to get and stay sober. And learning about the disease of alcoholism is also essential in educating children about the high hereditary risk. Kids respond so much better to learning medical facts than to lectures on 'what's good for them'. (As the co-founder of A.A. Dr. Bob said to Bill W., "don't lecture them, Bill. Just give them the medical facts".)
