The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous
Alcoholics Anonymous, also known as the “Big Book,” presents the original 12-step program for recovery from alcoholism. First published in 1939, the purpose of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous was to show other alcoholics how the first 100 people of A.A. got sober. Now translated into over 70 languages, it is still considered A.A.'s basic text. Below are various versions including The Original Manuscript of the Big Book, an audio version of the Big Book, the history of the Big Book and more.
