Came to Believe
Gathered in this booklet are the heartfelt stories of more than 75 A.A. members from around the world who share what the phrases "Higher Power” and «God as we understood Him» mean to them. The title – the first three words in the second of A.A.’s Twelve Steps – hints at the book’s theme: that recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous is not a destination, but a spiritual journey that takes place over time, while living “life on life’s terms.” <br>
Sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, but always honest, the stories in <i>Came to Believe</i> present a wide range of perspectives on what spirituality can look like in the context of Alcoholics Anonymous, demonstrating how the A.A. program is best described as “spiritual but not religious.” The rich diversity of voices we hear reflect the infinite number of paths available to those seeking freedom from alcohol. <br>
From newcomers just finding their way to longtimers seeking new perspectives, A.A. members of all kinds may find in <i>Came To Believe</i> added insight and inspiration to breathe enrich their recovery journey.<br>

As Bill Sees It
Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill W. once wrote that this collection of excerpts from his writings was “meant to serve as an aid to individual meditation and a stimulant for group discussion,” and since its publication in 1967 it has done that and more for millions of A.A. members around the world. Hundreds of brief passages – excerpted from the Big Book and other A.A. literature – address the principles of gratitude, spirituality, acceptance and a host of other themes central to living a serene life free from alcohol.<br> With a topical index to point readers to subjects of particular interest, <i>As Bill Sees It</i> is an easy-to-use resource of inspiration, comfort, and humor that provides a sense of belonging for those on the path of recovery.

A.A. in Prison: Inmate to Inmate
Written by and for incarcerated alcoholics, this slim, staple-less volume contains 26 stories by A.A. members who found their way to the Fellowship and got sober while behind bars. All of these individuals reveal how, through the program of Alcoholics Anonymous, they transformed their lives and found serenity despite their surroundings. <br>
One after the other, these recovering alcoholics – of all ages and all types – share how they came to grasp that no prison is as formidable as active alcoholism. From one story: “It may sound crazy to feel freedom in jail or prison. But that’s exactly what I have. I’ve known more freedom in these past 15 months than in all my 32 years of life.”<br>
Full of clear-sighted honesty, personal revelations and, most of all, hope in the most challenging circumstances, <i>A.A. in Prison: Inmate to Inmate</i> is a must-have piece of literature for incarcerated alcoholics as well as for the A.A. member engaged in service in correctional facilities.<br>

Dr. Bob and the Good Oldtimers
Alcoholics Anonymous, by its very nature, could not have been founded by one person: its essence is sharing. Bill W. and Dr. Bob are always referred to within A.A. as “co-founders.” Having died in 1950, when A.A. was only 15 years old, the Ohio surgeon may be less well-known than the New York stockbroker, his influence on the whole A.A. program is permanent and profound. <br> Filled with interviews with friends and family, this deeply researched biography follows A.A. co-founder Dr. Bob S. from his New England childhood to his days as a surgeon and father who couldn't stop drinking; to his transformative meeting with Bill W. and the birth of A.A. in Akron; and finally to his untimely death in 1950. Inextricably entwined with Bob’s life, the early history of Alcoholics Anonymous in the Midwest is chronicled along the way. With 26 archival photographs. General Service Conference-approved. <br>

Experience, Strength and Hope
Co-founder Bill W. was keenly aware of the importance of personal stories, writing, “The story section of the Big Book … is our principal means of identifying with the reader outside of A.A., it is the written equivalent of hearing speakers at an A.A. meeting; it is our show window of the results.” <br>
<i>Experience, Strength and Hope</i> offers back to the A.A. Fellowship the candor, wisdom and wit of 56 members whose stories are no longer available in the fourth edition of <i>Alcoholics Anonymous</i>. With each edition, new stories were added to reflect A.A.’s changing membership, while others had to be dropped. Numerous requests from A.A. members led to the publication of this book, where now can be found such classics as “A Feminine Victory,” written by one of A.A.’s very first female members, and “The Car Smasher,” by “A.A. Number 3” – third after the co-founders themselves. <br>
A.A. membership continues to grow and change, but the voices contained here will never be outdated. From poignant accounts of sorrow and loss to more raucous tales laced with deprecating humor, this collection of stories offer today’s A.A. members the timeless gift of experience, strength and hope. <br>

Living Sober
A.A.’s how-to manual for staying sober in everyday situations, this widely read booklet demonstrates through simple examples how A.A. members throughout the world live their lives to the fullest while staying sober one day at a time. From the foreword: “Living sober turns out to be not at all grim, boring and uncomfortable, as we had feared, but rather something we begin to enjoy and find much more exciting than our drinking days.”<br>

While focusing broadly on the Three Legacies of Recovery, Unity and Service, this volume offers experience, strength and hope on specific topics such as willingness, faith, making amends – themes that recovering alcoholics must address each day – and reminds us that we are never really alone in Alcoholics Anonymous. <br>
