The Big Book (Alcoholics Anonymous, First/Second Edition) in audio format
On this page, you can stream most of the basic text of the First/Second Edition of Alcoholics Anonymous, and Dr. Bob's story ("Dr. Bob's Nightmare"), in audio format.

This is a recording of the Big Book by Bob K. of Houston. Bob worked as voice talent for many years, and produced this recording at his own expense in a professional studio. Coincidentally, Bob led the very first meeting of the After Nine Groups in early September of 2005. He died in 2009; he had been sober for over twenty-seven years.
