A.A.'s own literature does most of the heavy lifting between meetings in Vermont. 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.
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
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
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
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
Brief passages from A.A.'s co-founder, arranged by topic. Some groups read one aloud at the top of every meeting.
