Some of you may enjoy this little online book. It is just 44 pages and is about someone putting down the drink without AA which he regards as useless. He makes up his own 12 steps and comes to an interesting conclusion which I happen to think is broadly true. Much of this is light hearted and he takes a humorous look at many rather odd situations. I enjoyed it, he made me laugh. This is not a self help book by any stretch of the imagination and his lifestyle would not suit many but then we are all different. Let's face it, just because the methods in the big book worked for Bill it does not mean they work for you.
Good to see a light hearted view of recovery!

Are you sure the Big Book worked for Bill W.? Wasn't he depressed most of his life?

It is true that he was depressed for most of his life! I had not considered that, only that he managed several years off the booze and made lots of money.
