I have been looking for several documents that used to be widely available online, and now they are not. I am going to post them here, to make them more accessible. I will be adding more as I go along.
This is an annotated workbook on the AA Big Book. It used to be available as a hard copy, but the original source is no longer online. I love it!
This is also an open source document that rewrites the AA Big Book using simpler language without compromising the message of our beloved text.
This is the original document that was the inspiration for this blog.
Emotional Sobriety …. A Journey of Perspective
This is the original document by Bill W. that introduced to the 12 step community the concept of emotional sobriety
I love this picture. I think that it explains addiction very well. I unfortunately do not remember the original source.
The goal of all these references is to be of service to the 12 Step community and to help carry a message of hope “to those who still suffer and to practice these principles in all our affairs.”

In love and service,
