The Pages That Hold Me.
The Big Book is more than just a book—it’s a lifeline. As someone in recovery, I’ve found comfort, clarity, and hope in its pages. The personal stories in the back remind me that I’m not alone, while the first 164 pages lay out a clear path toward spiritual and emotional healing. It doesn’t sugarcoat the struggles of addiction, but it offers real solutions, written in a way that reaches both the heart and the mind. Whether you’re just starting out or well along the journey, this book has something powerful to offer. I return to it often and always seem to find something new that speaks to me. I’ve now also purchased a beautiful cover for my big book and my 12X12!! Anonymous

This is a book that can really keep you motivated about recovery from alcoholism. There are stories about being alcoholic and then finding recovery through AA. The personal stories in the back cover the range of types of people who are in AA

Good for any type of addiction
I read this book even though I do not struggle with alcohol and I found this book very helpful. You can apply these principles to any addiction including gluttony, social media usage, pornography, etc. A must read for all people.

Decent version
Wish the text color was a bit darker and more contrasty to the paper. Also wish it didn't say the title of the book on the front and side. Also, although it's bound well, it's a bit hard to keep open without the side cover folding and the book closing. Wish the margins were bigger between the text and the binding and the binding was a tad more loose. Aside from all the above, it's a good edition of a classic that has helped millions overcome the nearly impossible.

No more wasting money on alcohol
AA delivered in your face - no diplomacy, no nonsense. If you're looking for a way out of alcohol, this book will make sure you don't relapse. I highly recommend this book and it did work for me. I'm in recovery, surprising the hell out of my friends. There are so many advantages to living alcohol free - saving money, gaining respect, better focus, easier workout and best of all - healthy organs. This body and mind is a gift - make the best out of life by staying away from booze. If I can do it, anyone can! Regarding the book, these are classic stories. Something like an interesting share in an AA session, if you've ever been in one. I got the Kindle version so that I can look up word meanings instantly. Your vocabulary is sure to improve multifold. In simple words, AA stories are non-goofy illustrations of the horrors of numbing the mind. It could be that one last thing to save you from asking for that one-last-drink. These days, I do give company to my friends in the bar but I'm not worried about temptations. I'm happy to say that I would never again have an alcoholic drink in my life. I strongly recommend this book to anyone with an alcohol problem. If you know an alcoholic, gift this book to him/her so that you can save one more life (and probably their family as well). Enough fun - time to get that healthy sleep that we deserve.

Great book if you want to stop drinking alcohol.
This book is a spiritual transmission that came through Bill Wilson, one of the co-founders of AA in the 1930s. Amazing pure program of healing and recovery. Can be applied to any problem whatsoever. A work of genius.
