Alcoholics Anonymous, a.k.a. The Big Book. Originally published in 1939, this book was printed with existing large stock and red jacket – this to save money on the publication. Written primarily by Bill Wilson, and edited by some of the original members of A.A., who at the time numbered about 100 people over a span of 3 individual groups.
Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. This book began as a series of essays written by Bill Wilson, which originally appeared in the Grapevine magazine in 1946 and was titled “Twelve Points To Assure Our Future”. The book expands upon each of the steps and traditions. The traditions were formally adopted at the first International A.A. convention in 1950, in Cleveland Ohio. This book followed with publication in April 1953.
As Bill Sees It is a compilation of writings by Bill Wilson, including items from the Big Book, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, Grapevine articles and personal letters to A.A. members. The book provides insight into how one can live in freedom from alcohol. Originally published in 1967 with the title “The A.A. Way of Life”, it was renamed to “As Bill Sees it” in 1971 and it kept the original title as a sub-title.
Daily Reflections was published in 1990. The book contains a writing for each day of the year, written by A.A. members. Each page begins with a quote from A.A. literature, followed by insights of the respective author.
Twenty-Fours A Day is printed by Hazeldon Publishing and for many A.A. members it serves as a useful guide to day to day living in sobriety. Each page begins with an “AA Thought for the Day”, followed by a “Meditation for the Day”, and is finished with a “Prayer for the Day”.
Grapevine Magazine As Bill W. expressed it in 1946, “The Grapevine will be the voice of the Alcoholics Anonymous movement. Its editors and staff will be primarily accountable to the AA movement as a whole. . . . Within the bounds of friendliness and good taste, the Grapevine will enjoy perfect freedom of speech on all matters directly pertaining to Alcoholics Anonymous. . . . Like the Alcoholics Anonymous movement it is to mirror, there will be but one central purpose: The Grapevine will try to carry the AA message to alcoholics and practice the AA principles in all its affairs.”
Living Sober This practical booklet demonstrates, through simple examples, how A.A. members throughout the world live and stay sober one day at a time.
Alcoholics Anonymous Comes of Age (a brief history of A.A.) Bill W. tells the story of how the A.A. Fellowship grew, from its beginnings in New York and Akron to its spread across the country and overseas. Through the lens of the Three Legacies of Recovery, Unity and Service, Bill explains how the Twelve Steps, the Twelve Traditions and the Twelve Concepts for World Service evolved. Closing chapters share the perspectives of early “friends of A.A.,” including Dr. Silkworth and Father Ed Dowling.
The Language of the Heart This book features all of AA cofounder Bill W.’s writings in Grapevine. Bill was Grapevine’s most prolific contributor, writing more than 150 articles from 1944 to 1970.
Everything AA is an app for your phone or tablet that provides numerous recovery resources, right at your fingertips, any time of day or night. The app is owned by AAWS as of May 1, 2026. Available on the Google Play Store or on the Apple Store.
Online Intergroup is a web based site to help you locate online meetings, or to seek help if you think you have a drinking problem, and it is a resource for OIAA members.
A Pre-AA History Book This book describes in detail the chain of events that led to the formation of A.A., from 1931 to 1935 — from Rowland Hazard’s pivotal medical diagnosis by psychologist Carl Jung to Henrietta Sieberling who, through her involvement with the Oxford Movement, arranged the first meeting of Bill Wilson and Robert Smith (Dr. Bob). The book is available for purchase and, it can also be downloaded as a pdf file.
Spiritual Roadmap A guide to spiritual awareness and maintenance. The spiritual life is not a theory.
Miracles of Recovery — This book delivers a powerful mix of hope and practical suggestions for those who want help, regardless of their addiction, faith, or belief. The book demonstrates by example how the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, and the principles of hope and willingness, work toward the goal of sobriety to effect permanent and profound change. The book is available online if you wish to have a copy.
The items listed on this page are by no means a thorough listing of recovery related sources. There are over fifty 12 Step groups that are based on the steps and principles set forth by Alcoholics Anonymous. That alone speaks to the positive outcome available to anyone who is honest, open-minded, and willing to follow a few suggestions. This group, and this website, are devoted to helping people who want to recover from alcoholism and similarly from drug addictions. If you have any questions or comment, just ask. We are here to help.
