Joe & Charlie Big Book Alcoholics Anonymous

I got sober in Dayton, Oh near the birthplace of AA. It was there that I was taught that the direction to sobriety was found in the Big Book and that if I followed precisely the direction inside I too could live a wonderful life. 12 years later I can’t deny that truth. I was introduced to Joe and Charlie with a set of CD’s and through the book and their guidance I have not found a reason to take a drink. This is a must for anyone wanting to gain a better understanding of the power found within its cover. May your higher power bless you on your journey.

I recommend this to all new comers & very old timers who don't know what we have available today with modern technology. This explains the Big Book in a simple & enjoyable way. The steps are so easy to follow that I look forward to redoing them. It's not only fun to listen to but convenient. I listen while driving, cleaning & exercising. It's not only convenient but saves money & space. I couldn't even buy the Big Book alone for this price; forget all the other books & meetings on this app.

I love Joe and Charlie. I'm recently sober- just over 90 days. I leaned about Joe and Charlie from An "old timer" in the program and I know it was divinely inspired that I did. These recordings make the Big Book relevant to my experience and my understanding of the program. I have the CDs but it's hard to find a player outside of my car these days! I just found this app this morning and am so happy that now I can take them anywhere. What a gift!

Their straightforward presentation about the steps, how they were used in recovery by the original practitioners and about the development of 12 steps into the form we find them today was so helpful. Especially expanded my understanding of how living in ongoing & growing trust of our higher power is central and develops through working the steps. I’ve recommended it to others.

The content is wonderful, I love having the text to read along with the audio. There are a few typos, but they aren't intrusive. The only suggestion I would make is to have the option of playing the sections continuously. Even recovered alcoholics are a danger on the road when they are scrambling to find and play the next session while driving at 80 mph!
