Book Description

A big part of figuring out how to stay clean and sober is learning how other people manage to do it. That's exactly why the Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous, was written why back in 1939. A small group of alcoholics thought that maybe they could help each other-and help other alcoholics-by sharing their own stories about the disease and how they overcame it. It turns out that a lot of the stuff they wrote about back then holds true for alcoholics and addicts today.

Of course, some of the language in the Big Book is dated. And some of the stories sound like they're from a different century-which they are. But the basic messages about getting honest with yourself, accepting help from others, and finding some kind of spiritual support are as powerful and relevant as ever. Big Book Unplugged, written for teens and young adults, is a simple, concise, and often humorous guide to using the incredible book that has given millions of people around the world a new chance for a happy life.
