Criticize Regarding Books Alcoholics Anonymous

I thought it was better this time around. Its an important text. I can relate to many part of it because I am an alcoholic. Many of my resentments towards this book were lifted on this reading. It's a great book with flaws. But I encourage anyone with a potential problem to read it but I would skip the chapter 'to wives', 'to the employer', and 'to friends and family'. I would encourage people to read the stories.

I really struggled with how to rate the "Big Book." I've been sober for over 9 years now, and I stopped being a semi-regular AA probably 5 years ago. (And I was NEVER an "AA Nazi" at all. I never officially did all the Steps, and I'm pretty sure I've never even read the ENTIRE Big Book.) BUT, after I had been sober for 9 months on my own and went to my first meeting out of just a desperation to be around SOMEONE who might understand all the emotions I was going through, it meant so much to be

Working in the mental healthcare field as well as my personal acquaintances I have heard many different views of AA and other 12 Step groups, ranging from the opinion that they are a cult that provided them with zilch to being a spiritual program that was a miracle. After reading this book and talking with others I know that this book has been able to perform miracles. I would recommend it or its branch offs (NA,CA, OA, EDA, EA, Al Anon, etc.) to anybody that feels they may have an addiction

An incredible insight into people, addiction and those affected by alcoholism.A good read for alcoholics or friends and family members of alcoholics.Wonder if you have a drinking problem? This book will help you.Know you have a drinking problem? Read this book.

Terribly sexist, and not spiritually inclusive.(a lot of words are just plain crossed out or edited in my copy) The revolution is not so much in this book as it's in the network of people who've read this book and then lived funner, happier, sexier lives than before.

My sobriety date: April 21st 2007.....

I'm not an alcoholic. I've never even been drunk (or the least bit tipsy, for that matter.) However, I found some valuable suggestions for living in the first 164 pages of this book. The remainder of the book contains stories from recovering individuals. I love hearing about people and how they tackle life so I got a lot out of their testimonies. They were easy to relate to and many were not only inspirational but humorous as well. (Doctor, Alcoholic, Addict is my personal favorite chapter.)
