Thank you, John! I’m grateful to you for this site. I can’t afford a Big Book right now. I am returning to AA after years of trying to make it on my own. I had a belly full of program and a head full of pain. I got back to the meetings when a friend asked for a ride to a meeting. I walked into the meeting helping my friend, and realize the insanity of my semi-sober death walk of a life without working this program. I felt at home. Your site and these MP3s have helped me. Now I have the book in my head, if not in my hands. My current life consists of driving my friend to meetings, court dates, work, and meetings. Without this book, a good sponsor, and daily meetings, I would be some sort of savior, a victim, or living somebody else’s life. My feelings are returning and the drama is dialing down to a setting worthy of reality. This thing works, you know. Ain’t that the damnedest thing? It works.

I’m getting ready to go to truck driving school and was wondering… is there a way for me to download this to my computer? I may not alway’s be able to get internet connection and Being on the road I really need to stay connected with my higher power and my readings. Please get back to me. Thank you.

Thanks for your time to do this excellent piece of work. A little unordthodox maybe but I have started swimming again regularly and so bought myself a water proof MP3 player, rather then listen to mindless pop I thought of and audio book! What better than the big book ! there’s more than one way to receive the message :)

Thanks John for the service you have provided. I spend a lot of time on the road and oftentimes traveling really puts me in an odd state of mind. This will really help me keep my focus.
On a similar note, I often download audiobooks from a free website called Librivox.org, where audio recordings of various works of literature within the public domain can be freely downloaded. As of right now they do not have a reading of the Big Book. If you feel like you have the time, check the page out, and I’m sure they’d welcome your recordings. - #21 written by Angie 2 years ago

Links for downloading the audiobook containing the Big Book & 12×2 in one file. Great for your iPod. Each chapter bookmarked.

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

Hi, I’m so grateful to have found this site! It has be so much easier to comprehend what the big book has to say when it is being read out loud so smoothly.
I have a question…How can I download these mp3′s to my computer so I can burn the book to a cd and then share with new friends and my sponcer?
Thanks! :) - #54 written by Bill C 4 years ago
Thank you so much for doing this. I have been looking for an audio version of the Big Book for one of my sponsees who is blind.
