This study of the origin of Alcoholics Anonymous takes all mystery out of how the Twelve-Step Program for addiction recovery works. The author explores the historical influences from which the Twelve Steps were conceived and delves into the essential meaning of the "Higher Power" concept. The author contends that the Twelve-Step Program is a straightforward, comprehendible and simple prescription for living that if carefully followed, makes recovery from addiction a certainty. A comparative study of and commentary on A.A's two central texts, the "Big Book" and the "Twelve & Twelve," is the centerpiece of this definitive work.
