How many books save lives?,
By
This review is from: Little Big Book (Alcoholics Anonymous) (Paperback)
Sometimes I think the most powerful evidence that there is something to this book is that the AA program started with just two people and has grown to millions. Why? Because it actually does help people not only quit drinking but to enjoy life in a way that they never could before. I know people who drank to the point where their skin and eyes were yellow, people who have repeatedly been sent to jail and treatment facilities due to drinking but couldn't stop drinking get and stay sober after they read this book and followed its basic instructions.There are a lot of misconceptions about this book, with many claiming it to be a program of forced religion. The truth is that there are a lot of people who come into AA having insurmountable issues with the religion of their upbringing, with organized religion in general and with the concept of a capitol "G" god. This is in no way an obstacle to following the AA program. Many in AA do find something that they choose to call God after following the program, many do not. Critics often point out that AA's roots are to be found in the Oxford groups and then fail to appreciate the fact that AA split from the Oxford groups. A large part of the value of this book to me personally is that it clearly instructs one how to work the program of AA as it is meant to be worked, proving false many of the misconceptions about the program that are found not only in the general public but within AA itself. If you have a drinking problem and can't quit no matter how much reason you have for quitting, this book is recommended by millions who had the same problem. At the least, it won't hurt to read it!!!

This review is from: Little Big Book (Alcoholics Anonymous) (Paperback)
This is a very portable version of the venerable book, containing the essential 164 pages, Dr. Bob's Nightmare and the Appendices. Appendix II -- "Spiritual Experience" provides particular assistance to the burning bush bit, I found.(caveat: the typeface *might* be somewhat small for some eyes...).
