What members read between meetings

A.A.'s own literature does most of the heavy lifting between meetings in Tasmania. These are the books most often spotted on a member's bookshelf, with a short note on what each one is for. Each card is tagged with its language.

Alcoholics Anonymous (the Big Book)

English

The book Bill W. and Dr. Bob wrote first, in 1939. Most members pick up a copy in their first week or two and keep it close.

Look on Amazon

Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions

English

Bill W.'s longer essays on each Step and each Tradition. The usual companion read once the Big Book starts to feel familiar.

Look on Amazon

Living Sober

English

A short, practical book about the day-to-day of staying sober. Often the one a sponsor suggests in the first month.

Look on Amazon

Daily Reflections

English

One short A.A. reading for each day of the year, with a thought to carry into it. Members often keep a copy on the kitchen counter.

Look on Amazon

As Bill Sees It

English

Brief passages from A.A.'s co-founder, arranged by topic. Some groups read one aloud at the top of every meeting.

Look on Amazon

Came to Believe

English

Members' own short accounts of what "a Power greater than ourselves" came to mean to them. Helpful for anyone wary of the word God.

Look on Amazon

Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions (Large Print)

English

The same 12&12 essays in a larger typeface. Often the edition kept for reading aloud or for easier eyes.

Look on Amazon

More A.A. literature
