5.0 out of 5 stars The Primary Text, January 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered from Alcoholism (Hardcover)

This is the primary text for recovery. The twelve steps and twelve traditions is also primary.

Also, if you are serious about your recovery and wish to improve your conscious contact with God, you simply must read An Encounter With A Prophet by C.A. Lewis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Break free... no shame., June 7, 2000

This review is from: Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered from Alcoholism (Hardcover)

If you feel you may have a problem with drinking too much and are ashamed to talk about it, don't be ashamed any more. This book (called 'The Big Book' by AA members) contains the basis for a new life without the crippling cycle of alcohol abuse.

There is no more need to hide liquor bottles... lie about your drinking... drink alone... black out for hours... or take just a little morning drink to ease the shakes. Please look in your local white pages under "Alcoholics Anonymous" just to find someone to talk to. Or you may email me.

It gets much easier from there, I promise.
