Big Book Study Guide
This material was found in 2004 by an AA member in Sweden who then used it in a group with other AA members.
The group experience was positive and can be recommended for anyone considering it as a help in working AA’s Twelve Steps.
This material was made and used during the early1990’s by North American members of AA who chose to remain anonymous.
The original material was designed to be used in groups. If however you wish to use this material solely together with your sponsor that works, too.
Just ignore the references for use in larger groups of 8-12 people.
This study material sticks closely to AA’s Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous. There are many page references to help each person working the steps to easily refer back to AA’s major text.
It may be helpful to point out what is at times a source of confusion for AA that AA’s first three steps cannot be found in numerical order in the Big Book.
However, any person studying the first five and a half chapters of Alcoholics Anonymous can be assured of covering all three of AA’s first three steps.
It may also be helpful to point out that this study material is more detailed in the first four steps than in the remaining ones.

Excellent study guide!
This is an excellent guide to the personal study of Alcoholics Anonymous’s “Big Book.” It goes over what and how to take the steps from 1-12, and your personal thought, feelings, and experiences of taking them. This guide should be utilized in a group setting, but could also be helpful in the act of actually TAKING the steps. I would recommend this guide to any person in AA’s 12 step program, as it follows the Big Book exclusively. It would not work the same for NA, CMA, SLAA, Al-Anon, etc, as the questions are based on the individual chapters of the Big Book only. A thorough and well thought out guide.

Good guide.
Great guide if you're looking for a refreshment course on the 12 steps and traditions of alcoholics anonymous. Would recommend.
