The Actor

Unofficial Alcoholics Anonymous Site

My Purpose

The purpose of this site is to be of service to those who have seen the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous as a way to achieve recovery in the manner that works where everything else has failed for many of us. I also hope that anyone who may not have experienced recovery, but wants it, may find something here that would be of service to them. I am one of the people who the twelve steps have saved from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body.

My Experience

My experience with the disease of alcoholism showed me that I am an alcoholic. The first step was something that happened to me, not something that I wrote or did. I came to believe through the experience of others that I, like many others described in the preface of the Big Book, have realised that "Yes, that happened to me"; or more important, "Yes, I've felt like that"; or most important, "Yes, I believe this program can work for me, too."
