The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous

Known as the "Big Book," the basic text of Alcoholics Anonymous has helped millions of people recover from alcoholism since the first edition appeared in 1939. How It Works Global focuses on the Big Book in the majority of our meetings, using the first 164 pages, plus Dr. Bob’s Nightmare and Spiritual Experience as the basis of our program.
