Plain Language Big Book

The Plain Language Big Book is a tool to help readers understand the book Alcoholics Anonymous, which was first published in 1939. This new book is designed so that the AA’s Twelve Steps of recovery from alcoholism may be easily understood and accessible by all people who have a desire to stop drinking. The Plain Language Big Book covers the core content of what is in the “abridged version” (the edition without personal stories) of the original Big Book.
