Alcoholics Anonymous (The Big Book)

TL;DR — The Big Book in the Anonymous Press edition — the text on which the whole twelve-step architecture rests.

The Anonymous Press PDF edition of Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered from Alcoholism.

The press states its own purpose plainly: “The Anonymous Press is made up of a bunch of A.A. members staying sober by carrying the message of A.A.”

One of the most consequential self-help texts ever written, and the source of a programme structure that has been transplanted into dozens of unrelated recoveries. Worth having as a primary source rather than as description.
