    About this ebook

    The EZ Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous is a paragraph-by-paragraph translation of the original AA Big Book published in the 1930s and still in use. Written by program founder Bill Wilson, it has been the AA Bible for for over 70 years.

    Unfortunately. Wilson’s book is difficult for many readers to follow. Gender and lifestyle stereotypes abound because the book was written mainly for middle-class men with stay-at-home wives.

    While faithful to the text published in 1939--line by line--the EZ Big Book is written in an easier, more journalistic style. Alcoholics at all reading levels can understand the message. Women will welcome the absence of sexist language, and alcoholics with live-in partners and nontraditional lifestyles will not feel excluded. Couples are not assumed to consist of a middle class working males with nonworking wives. People whose spiritual paths are non-Christian will be comfortable with general references to a “Higher Power,” “Spirit of the Universe,” etc. The text is easy to read but never condescending.

    The new EZ Big Book carries the AA message without loss of content. It may be used alone or as a study guide alongside the original Big Book
