    Hi all. My sponcer is going to go through the aa book with me. And I really look forward to this. Can folk that have done so share there experience. And also will I be questioned on the book by sponcer. Or is it there position to run through the book and explain it?? If I was in an exam type situation anxiety would over power me..

    Good for you :)

    I first went through the BB over a decade and a half ago. Changed my whole view of AA--forever--and remains the best thing I've ever done. And of course it isn't ever "done", lol----it's an ongoing experience that showed me how to recover from alcoholism, live and really experience an interesting life ( boredom was my biggest demon in sobriety) , and most importantly: I have not had a drink since.

    I have taken many through the work since then, and it's always a powerful experience.

    We are not really in the advice giving biz, but I can share a BB study that I ( and many others) have found great:




    Just keep an open mind, seek after this the same way you used to go after drink, and you will recover too! Best wishes on your journey.
