The most important and practical self-help book ever written, Alcoholics Anonymous.

Here is a book that has changed millions of lives and launched the modern recovery movement: Alcoholics Anonymous.

This edition not only reproduces the original 1939 text of Alcoholics Anonymous, but as a special bonus features the complete 1941 Saturday Evening Post article “Alcoholics Anonymous” by journalist Jack Alexander, which, at the time, did as much as the book itself to introduce millions of seekers to AA’s program.

Alcoholics Anonymous has touched and transformed myriad lives, and continues to change lives today.

This book is not authorized or produced by, or otherwise affiliated with, Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.W.S.) or its corporations, namely Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.
Bill W. (1895–1971), AA cofounder, was the chief voice and writer behind Alcoholics Anonymous—often called “The Big Book”—on which he collaborated with many figures, including his wife and intellectual partner, Lois Wilson (1891–1988); his AA cofounder, Bob Smith (1879–1950); pioneering AA member Henry Parkhurst (1895–1954); and a wide range of early AAs who contributed stories and strategies.
