Reviews
Can’t use book in group reading !
1By Woodywood1963Pages are not the same as the regular printed Text ! When the group says turn to page 87 in your text ; this book is in a completely different chapter. Difficult to navigate with readings at the beginning ! I just wanted a copy of the regular text !Saved me. Refilled my soul.
5By alexis_lynn18I got the hard copy but this book made me feel like I wasn’t crazy or alone or stupid. It showed me a way out. Don’t give up. If you don’t know which to get (AA or NA) read the sample. The one that speaks to you is the one. 11 months and 4 days Clean.This book saved my life, my hope that it does the same for you like it did for me.

5By Looser352This is a life saverPerfect!!!
5By CleanDream510-916I absolutely will be buying this. Would it be possible to add a feature where when writing a note, we could use a pencil or stylus for handwriting. You could even go one step further and do handwriting to text. I mean, possibilities are endless. Plus you charge for each additional upgrade. I know I’d buy them for each book.Fantastic

5By Ace369369Love the Basic Text on ibook!Who's better to write about addiction?
5By Craig_S_92Written by addicts for addicts, this book has a solution on how to live life without the use of drugs (and oh, so many other addictions). This book encompasses the fellowship of NA, the twelve steps and traditions, what it was like in active addiction, and what it's like now without the use of drugs. I can pick up this book no matter what is going on in my life, and a)identify b)find a solution c)be filled with gratitude. There's a saying in Narcotics Anonymous: This is a program for people who want it, not need it. The same can be said for this book. Personally, I know I need it.Helped save my life
