A life-changing read

This original 1939 edition of Alcoholics Anonymous is incredibly powerful. It's honest, raw, and full of wisdom that still holds up today. The stories and guidance are timeless, and it's a book that truly helps you see recovery in a whole new way. A must-read for anyone seeking real change or understanding the roots of the AA program.

a mainstay on my book shelf! This book illustrates a 12 step program that has helped thousands of alcoholics live a better more productive, and personally rewarding life. I include myself on that list. Thank you for keeping it on the shelf. Over time, I will probably buy several more copies to pass on to other old drunks.
