A Step Work Group Guide: Big Book Format (wholesale)

The Foreword to the first edition of Alcoholics Anonymous famously states that the “main purpose of this book” is “to show other alcoholics precisely how we have recovered.” This Step Work Group Guide faithfully and accurately breaks down those ‘precise’ instructions into an 18-week program to be followed by a small group of alcoholics who want to get sober or who are working to improve their own sobriety. Each week, members of the group read selected texts from the Big Book, write out their answers to questions raised by those readings and then meet to discuss what they have learned from the Big Book and report on what they have actually done to ‘take’ the Step in question. The format here is surely that of a study group, but the primary purpose isn’t just to understand the Steps. Instead, each Step Work Group member commits to actually ‘doing’ the Step as they go along each week – in the hope of experiencing the “spiritual awakening” promised in the Twelfth Step.

This Step Work Group Guide has been used with great success since 2003, earning lavish praise from some of the most active and respected people in Alcoholics Anonymous: “This process proved to be so much more useful and comprehensive than anything we have ever done that we have adopted it as our regular format.” (Bill C., Torrance, CA) “The Guide helped us immensely in really getting at the issues and in understanding the solution.” (Nancy D. Morro Bay, CA) “This Guide has turned out to be the most powerful experience in guiding me towards the revolutionary spiritual awakening that the founders speak about in the Big Book.” (Stuart W., Fairfield, CT) “This book provides people with a clear path to a transformative experience.” (Jay S., Sedona, AZ) “We were all surprised how deep the 18 weeks were and how we bonded in a way that was simply beautiful. This workbook took my sobriety to a whole new level.” (Hilary M., Los Angeles, CA)
