Literature

Read to understand,  Read for your sanity,  Read to recover,  Read for your life.

If you take a drink no one else will do the dying for you…

 

 

“Read not to contradict and confute, nor just to believe and take for granted but to weigh and consider”

“Hear them, read, mark, learn and inwardly digest”

“There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation”

“We of Alcoholics Anonymous, are more than one hundred men and women who have recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body.   To show other alcoholics precisely how we have recovered is the main purpose of this book…” 

From the foreword of the Big Book 1st edition.

In addition to this, displayed on a separate table, clearly marked (conforming with the recommendations of conference) we shall have a selection of pamphlets and books which were originally available back in the 1940s, plus some pamphlets we have put together, from our experience, that could be useful in today's AA.
