A little self serving with splashes of interesting tidbits.
Quite honestly...just read the big book and 12&12 instead. Go to some book studies and get some real perspective on the program.
I found myself telling the authors, in my mind, to reread the AA book and remember Rule 62.
AA has saved my life...as laid out in the first 164 pages of the Big Big if Alcoholics Anonymous.
