I'm not an aa'er.....but....the night I decided to get sober, I downloaded the BB around 2:30am and read it cover to cover. It made complete and total sense to me - divinely inspired for sure! Haven't had a drink since (3+ years). I guess I'm not an aa'er because I totally get it - from initial thought to sobriety. That book saved my life, and I'm not a reader.
