It Works, If You Work It

It Might Have Been the Time…

The fellowship in AA is unique. Ties are made overnight that it would take years to develop elsewhere. No one needs a false front. All barriers are down. Some who have felt outcasts all their lives now know they really belong. From feeling as if they were dragging anchor though life, they suddenly sail free before the wind.

Lois W., February 1950, “It Might Have Been the Time…”, Best of the Grapevine, Vol. 2

AA Books

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) books are foundational texts that support individuals in recovery from alcoholism. The most well-known is “Alcoholics Anonymous,” often called The Big Book, which outlines the AA program, including the Twelve Steps, personal recovery stories, and the principles of the fellowship. Other key AA publications, like Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions and Daily Reflections, offer guidance, spiritual insight, and daily encouragement to help members maintain sobriety and grow in recovery.

2

Medallions

AA medallions, also known as sobriety chips or tokens, are small coins given to members of Alcoholics Anonymous to celebrate milestones in their recovery journey. They typically mark lengths of sobriety—such as 24 hours, months, or years—and serve as a symbol of encouragement, commitment, and personal achievement in staying sober one day at a time.

3

AA Pamphlets

AA pamphlets are informational booklets published by Alcoholics Anonymous to help members and the public better understand the AA program. They cover a wide range of topics, including the Twelve Steps, sponsorship, spiritual growth, and how AA works. Easy to read and widely distributed, these pamphlets provide support, guidance, and clarity for newcomers, long-time members, and anyone interested in learning more about recovery through AA.
