If you're looking for a huge collection of recordings made during presentations by many fine speakers, you've found it!

Note: you can listen to these on-line or download them onto your hard drive, then 'burn' a CD at your leisure -- CDs you can share with old-timers and newcomers alike.

Here's a sample of suggested appetizers:

(1.) Charlie P., Maysville, Ark., 1986
"Charlie" of the Joe and Charlie Big Book Tapes tells his story

(2.) Myers R., Dallas, Texas
from "12 Step Happening", Reykjavik, Iceland, 2003

(3.) Chris R., Ingram, Texas
at the Primary Purpose Group, Dallas 16th Anniversary 3/04

This site offers excellent downloadable essays and a first-class Big Book Study Guide.

You can download the word-processing files and print out your own Study Guide or you can order a high-quality bound copy of the PPG BIG Book Study Guide for $17 via e-mail. In either case, you'll get some two hundred pages jam-packed with meaningful explanations and a list of questions.

By reading the big book and working through the study guide, you will truly know the contents of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous... it is an excellent next-generation version of the pioneering work by Joe McQ and Charlie P, the Arkansas Travellers who have presented Big Book workshops to half a million people.

A wise man reportedly said "An apprentice who fails to surpass his master fails his master." In this case, Cliff B. and his protoge's are building on the legacy of the aging Arkansas Travellers in a manner that should make the masters proud.

This site has a huge selection of speaker audios in MP3 format.

You'll see on this page the array of 12-step groups represented here. An alcoholic may be well-advised to check out the CA Selection, that of Cocaine Anonymous. You'll find several familiar speakers here who don't talk about "outside issues" at AA meetings -- unless they're speaking to another fellowship. Some of this material is meaty and profound, especially those addressing spirituality and sponsorship, something that may have slipped on the 'priority list' of some AA groups.
