The book Alcoholics Anonymous, commonly referred to as the big book of AA, was first published in 1939. It established the organisation of AA by the same name, and as AA grew in size, the book became the mainstay of the organisation.

Alcoholics Anonymous
Alcoholics Anonymous, often referred to as AA, is probably the best-known model of recovery for helping people who have a problem with alcohol.
As an organisation, it has been around since the early to mid-1930s, originating in the United States but quickly growing and spreading across the world.
Whilst most people have probably heard about AA, most of its inner workings and language are really only understood by those who are members of it, and attend AA meetings.
The anonymity aspect of AA it is often confused with a degree of secrecy that people who have a drink problem often develop as part of their life.
