Summary of Anonymous Alcoholics's Alcoholics Anonymous

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was born in a small New England town of about seven thousand people. I was the only child, and I was forced to go to church, Sunday School, and evening service. I resolved that when I was free from parental domination, I would never again darken the doors of a church. #2 I had been drinking excessively for several years, and when I reached the final exams for my junior year, I went on a particularly strenuous spree. When I went in to write the examinations, my hand trembled so much I could not hold a pencil. I passed in at least three absolutely blank books. I was, of course, soon on the carpet. #3 I developed two phobias during this period. The first was the fear of not sleeping, and the second was the fear of running out of liquor. I knew that if I did not stay sober enough to earn money, I would run out of liquor. #4 I became friends with a group of people who seemed very calm and at ease, and they seemed very happy. I was self-conscious and uncomfortable most of the time, and I was thoroughly miserable. I sensed that they had something that I didn't have, which could help me solve my liquor problem.
