Alcoholics Anonymous, the Big Book <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today in 1938 the name Alcoholics Anonymous was approved. AA co-founder Bill W\u00a0and colleagues had begun writing what would become the Big Book in 1938, but no title had yet been agreed. From a\u00a0shortlist of two, the other possible title: \u2018The Way Out\u2019 ran into copyright difficulties, so \u2018Alcoholics Anonymous\u2019 was chosen. It was published in 1939. The history of the Big Book and how it was produced makes fascinating reading. Named one of the most influential books of all time, it has sold over thirty million copies. Do\u00a0I\u00a0appreciate the work of the early members of AA in producing such a\u00a0seminal work? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AA is a\u00a0goldmine of experience, support and example which we can benefit from every day of our lives, but the gold we extract must be given away. There is so much paradox in my life already; \u2018No Pain without Gain\u2019, \u2018Surrender to Win\u2019, even the mysterious \u2018Fake it to Make it.\u2019 Giving away what I\u00a0have been given makes perfect sense because I\u00a0am the beneficiary from the giving of others. In my gratitude and humility is my strength and my desire to carry the message on to others less fortunate. I\u00a0am thankful for the Twelve Step fellowships and the work that they do.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
