The primary purpose of the AA Big Book Study is to show others PRECISELY HOW WE RECOVERED from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body through the use of the Big Book, the basic text of Alcoholics Anonymous.

It is an OPEN online meeting of men and women who share their experience with using the Big Book with each other, that they may stay sober and help others to achieve sobriety and recover.

The format of this meeting is simple - the moderator/meeting chair will quote a passage directly from the Big Book and meeting members are encouraged to share their experience on it through personal anecdotes or examples. The moderator/meeting chair will do the same.

Since this is NOT a "dumping" meeting, please use restraint and refrain from sending jokes, prayers, quotes, motivational or inspirational stories not connected with the BB, and personal opinions of other members shares - they will not be published and will only lead to resentments and self -pity :)

The only requirement for membership is a desire to learn to use the Big Book to recover. To subscribe to this meeting please send an email sharing experience strength and hope in BRIEF and your experiences with the Big Book (or lack of it) to aabigbookstudy@yahoogroups.com
