This book has helped me further understand the AA way of life as well as concise, detailed guidance for practicing each of the 12 Steps. Very useful!

Fantastic! It gave me a totally and different perspective of being an alcoholic... much clearer to me the program of alcoholics and the alcoholic character traits I work on every day. Would recommend to anyone in AA or considering joining the program

AA simplified

The aa book is big and this is a good summary with many practical ideas and I found it helps and also going to aa meetings helps

it's SO hard to rate any book lower than 5 stars that is supporting people in recovery from addiction. and even more so 12-step focused books because it has been so life changing for so many people. so I tried to take my personal biases of the 12 steps out of my rating but again, that's very hard, so here we are at 4/5 stars

definitely thought provoking and i'm intrigued to see how simplified this book was compared to the traditional big book

woah, this was DENSE. I will have to re-read it cause I definitely didn't get it the first time around.

Started off slow, but got better. Not a big Hazelden fan, but this book is from (I think) 1957 and I didn't find it too off track.

Spiritually rich but I struggle with the dense writing style.
