The Big Book Is About Me

SOMETIMES, the question arises: "What is the Big Book really about?" With the usual alcoholic contrariness, I can only answer with a question: "Who is the Big Book about?" In dealing with alcoholism and the program of recovery, the book tells us how the first AAs dealt with the major problems engendered by our disease, problems affecting marriage, family, sex, finance, jobs, careers, and finally sanity. Through the Twelve Steps, AAs were enabled to find a new perspective on those areas of self-imposed conflict.
