Using simple language, this pamphlet offers general information on Alcoholics Anonymous, covering topics such as symptoms of alcoholism, the Twelve Steps (A.A.'s program of recovery), the function of A.A. meetings, and more.
Straightforward answers to 15 questions that those new to Alcoholics Anonymous frequently ask about getting sober in A.A.
Twelve alcoholics with serious mental health issues — bipolar disorder, severe depression, schizophrenia — share how they found recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous. Includes the perspectives of five A.A. members with long-term sobriety who have sponsored alcoholics with mental health issues.
Speaks to newcomers who may wonder how A.A. can work for someone “different”—black or Jewish, teenager or nearing 80, plus nine other people who tell how the A.A. program has worked for them.
Thirteen LGBTQ alcoholics chronicle their experience before and after joining Alcoholics Anonymous, and how — despite their trepidations about A.A. — they discover that the tie that binds us all together is freedom from alcohol. Includes stories by recovering alcoholics who self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and transitioning, and queer.
This illustrated, easy-to-read 32-page pamphlet expands on the 12 self-diagnostic questions in “Is A.A. for You?” Suitable for those who think they may have a drinking problem.
