Description
Recordings of our intensive study of the Big Book covering the title page through "A Vision For You" each journey. This is not a recovery meeting, rather it is a study of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Therefore, it may be a suitable resource for members of twelve-step recovery programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Cocaine Anonymous (CA) and others that follow the practical program of action in the volume "Alcoholics Anonymous". Hosted by David G, David G, and friends - members of this study and of fellowship groups physically located in the far-west Chicagoland / rural Illinois area.
