Edition DescriptionNew Edition
SynopsisAlcoholics Anonymous (also known as the Big Book in recovery circles) sets forth cornerstone concepts of recovery from alcoholism and tells the stories of men and women who have overcome the disease. The fourth edition includes twenty-four new stories that provide contemporary sharing for newcomers seeking recovery from alcoholism in A.A. during the early years of the 21st century. Sixteen stories are retained from the third edition, including the "Pioneers of A.A." section, which helps the reader remain linked to A.A.'s historic roots, and shows how early members applied this simple but profound program that helps alcoholics get sober today. Approximately 21 million copies of the first three editions of "Alcoholics Anonymous" have been distributed. It is expected that the new fourth edition will play its part in passing on A.A.'s basic message of recovery. This fourth edition has been approved by the General Service Conference of Alcoholics Anonymous, in the hope that many more may be led toward recovery by reading its explanation of the A.A. program and its varied examples of personal experiences which demonstrate that the A.A. program works., First published in 1939, this sets forth cornerstone concepts of recovery from alcoholism and tells the stories of men and women who have overcome the disease. With publication of the second edition in 1955, the third edition in 1976, and now the fourth edition in 2001, the essential recovery text has remained unchanged while personal stories have been added to reflect the growing and diverse fellowship.

  • Alcoholics Anonymous 4th Edition

    Great read for anyone looking to help another person who is struggling with alcohol or addiction. Also a great read for self improvement on a personal level who has battled this topic in the past and was too scared or afraid of others knowing about it.

  • Inspiring and Enlightening

    I bought this to read along with a friend who is receiving much-needed help through AA. I want to understand as deeply as I can the demons that he is fighting. He shared portions of his copy with me for a few weeks and I told him it is best I get my own copy so I can read it whenever I want. I am glad I did. Sometimes I go back and read portions again and again. Each time with fresh revelation. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is battling alcoholism or addictions themselves or others, like myself, who have loved ones who are enduring the battles with them.

  • The Path To Freedom

    It is the basic text for A.A.'s Twelve Step program. It is the basis for every recovery program since. The Fourth Edition carries the latest stories which are meant to relate to a modern audience. The first 164 pages have not changed since they were first published in 1939. Students of the Big Book find that as they recover the text changes meaning over time for them. As the mind, body and spirit get more clear, new concepts can be found in the very same pages they read just months before. Something new is revealed at each reading. As one Old Timer put it, " when the student is ready, the lesson will appear."

  • A blessing in my life

    This book saved my life. 46 plus years ago, my life was going to hell in a handbasket due to my destructive drinking. What I didn't know at the time was that the first drink set up a physical craving for more and more and more and I couldn't stop. A judge intervened after my 2nd DWI in 6 months, giving me a choice between 6 months of AA meetings or 6 months locked up.

  • Limited amount read at this point.

    Written in the 1930's so some of the wording is not what is used today. I've not finished the book so my review is very limited. I'm trying to be supportive to a friend who has started AA so not really applying it to myself. That might make my thoughts and feelings of less value than others.
