About the Author

Bill W. (William Griffith Wilson) was the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. After achieving his own sobriety, he worked with Dr. Bob Smith to create a fellowship based on spiritual principles and mutual support. He authored Alcoholics Anonymous to share the program with others suffering from alcoholism. His work remains a cornerstone of addiction recovery literature.

Rediscover the foundational text of the 12-step movement with this authentic 1939 edition of Alcoholics Anonymous: The Big Book. Written by Bill W., one of the co-founders of AA, this book has guided millions toward sobriety. It contains the core principles of the program, the 12 Steps, and powerful personal stories of early members who found a way out of alcoholism. For anyone seeking to understand addiction and recovery, this historic edition offers an unfiltered look at the beginnings of a movement that has transformed countless lives.

Who Should Read This Book?

This book is for anyone who wants to understand alcoholism from the inside out – whether you are struggling with drinking yourself, are a family member or friend of someone who is, or are a professional in the field of addiction. It is also a valuable resource for historians and those interested in the cultural impact of the 12-step movement. Many readers find it helpful to read alongside participation in AA meetings or other recovery programs.

Unlike later editions, this version preserves the exact text as it was first published in 1939. Readers often appreciate the raw, direct language and the authenticity of the early recovery stories. It includes the original foreword by Bill W. and the initial set of personal narratives that laid the groundwork for AA’s message of hope. This edition is a piece of history, yet its relevance remains undimmed for modern readers.
