Synopsis

Read by many thousands, this original 1939 edition sets out Alcoholics Anonymous’ well-known 12 steps and offers guidance for those considering the programme, including readers who struggle with the idea of a higher power. Alongside its core explanation of the approach, it includes personal accounts in which members describe their experiences with alcohol and their route towards sobriety.

Only this edition contains all 29 stories from the programme’s pioneers, presented in full and including early recovery, relapse in some cases, and eventual success. It also highlights what Bill Wilson described as the key to the solution: a vital spiritual experience through which followers may rediscover, or discover, God.
