When the Big Book was published in 1939, it was a sensation. It introduced millions of people to a new way of life, and set off a revolution that is still going on today. At just over 300 pages long, it's easy to read, but its power comes from its spiritual message and the lessons it teaches about how people can overcome their fears and self-doubt by practicing honesty and open-mindedness.

The Big Book was the result of nearly a decade of writing and rewriting, including more than 400 drafts. The book is really an expression of Dr. Bill's spiritual experience with alcoholics. The first draft was about 75,000 words and was rejected by publishers in 1939 because it wasn't long enough to be profitable.
