Alcoholics Anonymous Literature
 

We read the literature of Alcoholics Anonymous, as the foundation of recovery and solvency.

 

In particular, we read the "Big Book" of Alcoholics Anonymous. We may use this as a guide for working the 12 Steps, understanding the 12 Traditions, and connecting with our Highter Power. 

The literature of Alcoholics Anonymous provides a spiritual foundation for our program of recovery.
