Publisher's summary

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.

Whether listening to passages together at meetings, listening privately for personal reflection, or working with a sponsor, the Big Book can be a source of inspiration, guidance and comfort on the journey to recovery.

This Fourth Edition of Alcoholics Anonymous has been approved by the General Service Conference.

Life changing

This is the gold standard in the industry as well. Do yourself a favor and go to AA big book studies, very welcoming and you will be glad you did. Peace, love and happiness.

It works!

I absolutely love this book! I was handed it Thirty-eight years ago. And yes, I have maintained my sobriety since 12/7/83. It is however, important to me that I reread it from time to time. Audible made it possible for me to listen to the Big Book while I walked. Thank you!

A Must Listen For The Recovering Alcoholic

Required reading/listening for AA. Great for those in alcoholic recovery. Listen to it and also get a physical copy to read and make notes in.

A must have

I have read the hard copy and study from it regularly. I felt that having the audio would get me more of the study of the BB. Divine providence…there is no other explanation for me!

Wonderful Narration!!

I love this book even more than I already did. The many voices of the narrators bring it to life for me like never before. It was an absolute joy to listen to from start to finish. I can’t recommend the audio version enough. Incredibly valuable!!

love the book, narrators are cringe

The narrator's in some of the stories with natives or African Americans really put on some cringe inducing accents.
