Known to most AA’s as the Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous is the bible of the program. It explains briefly how AA came into being and how it works. It describes AA’s program for living (and thriving) sober. It also contains accounts by 42 AAs of their alcoholism, from progressive drinking to hitting bottom by entering AA and on to recovery.
In two other AA books, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, “a co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous tells how members recover and how the society functions.” Living Sober has “some methods AA members have used for not drinking.”
