Kiki - a book that I've found so helpful: A Woman's Way Through the 12 Steps by Stephanie Covington. Helpful for me because it showed me a different path through some of the highly charged (for me) language of the Big Book. Main focus is on a woman's perspective, but through her interpretation of the 12 steps, she also tackles navigating the program from a variety of perspectives including agnostic/atheist. This book as much as anything gave me a sense of possibility that I could find my own path through AA without sacrificing the integrity of my values.
