Question by starr: are there any books besides Alcoholics Anonymous-The Big Book that can be helpful to alcoholics seeking help?

Best answer:

Answer by kerrbear
The Joe and Charlie audio cds have been very helpful to my husband. They can be purchased from the Joe and Charlie web site or on Ebay and are very reasonably priced. There are others but my husband likes these best because they are seem more true to the experiences of actual alcoholics.

Question by scorpio s: Does alcoholics anonymous work for everyone?
Just curions…anyone here that’s tried it, and there was absolutely no way it worked for you?

Best answer:

Answer by fignewt0n
I have known a lot of people it didn’t work for. Lots of people are forced to go to AA and NA when they get arrested and it won’t help if you don’t want to quit. You have to do the work, it is just a support group. It helps a lot of people but those people wanted to quit, had hit their rock bottom. Lots of people also relapse. AA is an excellent program but no it doesn’t work for everyone!
