Introduction

The 3 Pertinent Ideas (A, B, C's)

If you match these with facts from your own experience, you may be convinced.

• (a) That we were alcoholic and could not manage our own lives.
• (b) That probably no human power could have relieved us.
• (c) That God could and would if He were sought.

Our Approach

We turn Big Book statements into personal considerations. Look for similarities, not differences in your own experience.

Our primary purpose is to share experience, strength and hope with those who suffer from alcoholism and addiction.

"Always praying to discover our own truth and live in contented sobriety."
