{"product_id":"2940013942219","title":"Secrets of Alcoholics Anonymous Everyone Should Know","description":"Secrets unveiled at last. This book sheds light on the disturbing and sometimes sordid stories that have taken place in Alcoholics Anonymous and does it without revealing the identities of its membership. It was written from the vastly different vantage points of a thirty-year AA member and a one-year-sober newcomer. It is our hope that newcomers who come to AA seeking relief from their alcoholism, as well as longer-time members, will become aware of the hazards they may encounter in the program. We also hope this book will remind long-time members of the pitfalls they may have long overcome or that were not in place when they first joined the program.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShrouded in secrecy for over seventy-five years, the program of Alcoholics Anonymous was originally founded to help the afflicted overcome alcoholism with guidance, spiritual growth, and love. But it also exposes recovering alcoholics to potentially more mayhem than they ever encountered in a bar. Its meetings can be a haven for lowlifes, predators, con artists, control freaks, neurotics, as well as run-of-the-mill dysfunctional behavior so common these days.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePersons who inhabit Alcoholics Anonymous and victimize members with immoral or criminal acts have earned their place in this informative work. But AA is also a rich mission field and can provide spiritual growth for those who want to tap into the enlightenment offered by its discussion meetings, literature, and the many healthy and helpful folks who can make the AA experience so wondrous and grand!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegards and anonymously yours,\u003cbr\u003eElaine and Dallas","brand":"Palace Guard Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47184015458544,"sku":"2940013942219","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013942219_p0.jpg?v=1763597703","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013942219","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
