Does anyone know where I can get a free Big Book???

I am 6 days sober now and fresh out of detox.  I am 28 years old and never been to detox or tried to quit drinking in my many years of heavy drinking.  I dont have much $$ at all and was wondering if someone could perhaps donate me a big book out of good faith and karma, hopefully the Higher Power can lead me to the book!
thanks
Steve

Most AA meetings will give you one if you can't afford it, you can pay it back later.

In the AA meeting rooms I go to, there's always someone ready to hand someone a design for living.  (Big Book)

Welcome!!  Good to meet SoberSteve

Hi Steve,

At the end of the Meetings, I am used to, they say that the Big Book is 6 or 7 dollars, but then say, UNLESS you are new, then there is No Charge for the book.

The meeting are so critical to your Continued Sobriety, they have meetings where they offer Child care too. Try to find one.

There is a saying that is so true Steve. We need to keep Sobriety in the Front of EVERYTHING else, not allow anything in Front of it, it improves our chances of staying sober.

Wishing you the best. and So Happy you are here with us today.

Hugs, Toni

Steve, welcome......
and I would be glad to mail out a copy to you, to any address of your choosing, if you find you are unable to get a free one in the next few days. Just PM me and let me know where to mail it to.

Joni

Hey Steve,

Do you still have the link I sent you for AA meetings? I forgot what city you're in, Oregon right?  Click here

Here is a copy of the Big Book Online.  You can print these pages out and staple it for a "ghetto" version of the book if you'd like.  Click here

Here is a free audio version of the big book you can listen to!  Click here

Hope this helps!  Make sure to bookmark the pages!

Enjoy! biggrin
