This is great! I am dating an alcoholic and have been going to meetings with him. I am going to see if they have had access to this audio because I am sure there are some that struggle with reading and this would be very helpful.
BIG THANKS!

Get job!
Please email the Big Book (in a single file) to me. One of the guys I sponsor cannot read.
Thanks much,

Hi Frank,
I’m afraid the BB as one file is too big to put on site or email. You can download each file one by one using “Right Click” on MP3 link and “Save as…”
The MP3’s could then be put on CD’s or an MP3 player/IPOD I’ve done this myself for people who have difficulty reading.

Hi Malcolm K
I would be grateful if you would e-mail the big book files to me at homerouge@aol.com
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have put the Big Book files together as a single MB4 audiobook file (I also added the 12×12). The file will play in any player (iTunes and windows media player plus others). It is handy for those with an ipod or want a bookmarkable file together in iTunes etc. I will be happy to email it to you if you want to put it on your site, for those who may find it useful.
All the best
Malcolm K.

Hello From Virginia USA.
I am not doing too well but short story is that I am on a cross country trip (alone).
On my last day (today) I found your website and I just finished burning the Big Book so I can take it on the trip.
Sober for 17 years.
Love you guys.
Thanks!!!! I’ve got them loaded in my phone (mp3 player)… I can take it with me. One breath at a time, somedays. *hug and smile*
Thanks. I’m busy; but I’ve an mp3 player in my phone… now I can listen to whatever I need wherever I am. I (and my sponsor) thank you.
Thanks for the dowloads I work in my car and it will be good to listen to while I,m driving.
