 | This book illustrates a way of live Sep 18, 2008 |
In having some personal experience in alcoholism and having now recovered from that aspect of my life for over 20 years now I can only say that the program of recovery outlined in this book and in AA has resulted in a life for me beyond what I ever thought I could become. This doesn't mean it will work that way for you or that this is the only solution but for me it worked with due diligence but it did take time. Breaking down self will is not an overnight affair.
The problem is that each person is complex and each person's recovery is different. This book outlines basic tools to find what works for me. These tools have been illustrated through the ages in many different religions and/or spritual avenues. The thing is it takes time and experience. I don't believe no one can pick this book up, read it through, and have their life change instantly. This is no doubt a program that relies on action of the steps and long term experience.
Being in AA since I was 14 and sober since 19 in many areas of the country I still do not understand the association of AA with being a cult. All I can express is I have a livable life now that is mostly enjoyed and not endured inside and outside the rooms.

| If you have/have had a problem with alcohol, this is the book to read. The AA program has "worked" for millions of people, since 1935, when other tried means did not. For the guy who said the chapter, "To the Wives," is a sexist piece of trash: Use your brains, buddy. It describes the alcoholic, whether male or female, and how their ("politically correct") significant others can cope. I'm a female recovering alcholic and didn't have trouble relating to the chapter nor saw it as offensive. AA saved my life and I will forever be grateful. And the text, "Alcoholics Anonymous," proved invaluable in my recovery journey. -- Debbie S., Andover, KS | | | | AA program saves lives Feb 10, 2008 |
| The AA program has saved thousands of people from a life of hopeless addiction. This book lays out the whole program of AA. If you follow it, you will get better. Not only will you be able to stop drinking but your life will improve dramatically. It works if you work it! | | | | Saved my life Nov 20, 2007 |
I was 21 when I got sober. At the time, I thought the book was outdated and could never help me. Somebody suggested that I go to a meeting to study this book, I drug my heels all the way there--but, five years later I'm still sober and that book study meeting is my homegroup.
This book has worked for millions of alcoholics. It's not the only way to get sober, but it's what's worked for me--for that, I'm greatful. | | | | I don't understand the critism Sep 12, 2007 |
| I don't really understand the lengths I've seen people go to to discredit this book or the 12 steps in general. I am not a member of AA but I have a family member who was saved literally from the brink of death by NA. The changes in her and in her life have been nothing short of miraculous. If it was a 'cult' that brought about this change in her then I say Thank God for the 12-step cult, for it is truly a force of good. | | | Write your own review about Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered from Alcoholism
